Thirsty Trout is a rich, robust American Porter. Dark brown in color with medium to heavy body and hints of light roast. Aromas of chocolate leave way to a full mouthfeel and somewhat sweet finish to make this porter a desirable companion. Thirsty Trout is a rich, robust American Porter that will have you yelling "CHOCOLATE!" after the first whiff. Dark brown in color with medium body and hints of light roast. The aromas of chocolate cupcake lead the way to a sweet caramel and toffee body that finish beautifully with hops. Stay trout my friends.

More of a porter slash brown than a baltic porter, on tap at Hopcat. Brown with carbonation bubbles. Average mouthfeel. Malty. Licorice brown taste. A little roast, more licorice than chocolate, and a tad coffee. Much better at the brewery, better mouthfeel..

Black liquid.

Nice khaki head; decent lace.

Cream & roasted coffee nose.

Medium mouthfeel.

Cream soda with a hint of coffee with a hint of raspberry.

Tasty.

Very tasty beer that’s well-crafted and well-balanced. Pours a nice dark rich brown color with a little tan head and spotty lingering lacing. Smells of rich roast coffee, dark chocolate, caramel, malt and a little raisin. Taste follows the nose, along with some toffee, vanilla and plum. Nice and smooth mouthfeel, slightly creamy. Good carbonation. A very enjoyable offering.
