A cold weather game changer of a beer, Embrr is every bit as rich and tasty as its sonorous name suggests. A true wake up call if you haven’t started packing away your Summer whites yet. Embrr (not a typo!) is brewed with a hefty portion of rye and flaked rye to give this smooth porter a rich chocolaty body and hint of spice. Embrr is brewed with 2-Row, Chocolate, Rye, Flaked Rye, Crystal, Roasted Barley, and Sybilla hops.

L - Embrr pours into a chalice the color of a Coke, with a thin 1/2 inch tan head.
S - Spice, ginger, malts, hint of coffee
T - Coffee, roasted/toasted malts, ginger, some hop tang.
F - NIce effervescent quality. Medium body. Balanced texture. Dry.
O - The Ithaca Embrr is a delicious porter. The predominant taste is coffee, but is not an overpowering flavor. This brew is robust without being heavy. It has a lively character, layers of flavor on the palate, and a nice dry finish which, for me, quickens the pace to the next sip.

From the 12 fl. oz. bottle which looks to be dated 10-12-15. Sampled March 23, 2016.
The pour is dark brown with some reddish hues and a short-lived off-white head.
The aroma has some classic Porter elements including dark sweet malts and a little barley grain with a low hop profile.
Medium body.
The taste is more on the sweet malty side with a mild bitterness at the end.
