Brewer: Shipyard Brewing Company (Maine, USA)
Beer: Seadog Riverdriver Porter
Style: Porter
abv: 5.6%
Bottle from the store. Brewed with hazelnuts.
Pours deep garnet with a small off-white head. Remarkably non-opaque. Excellent milk chocolate aroma, with the hazelnut coming in strong with the second sniff. Some toast and nuts. Very good Porter flavor somewhat ruined by a touch of hazelnut. The beginning is very roasty, with the hazelnut coming in not long after. The finish is nicely bitter, with lingering almond. Would be better without the extra flavoring, but still good.
Rating: 3.4 out of 5
