People's Porter
Foothills Brewing Company - Downtown Brewpub

12oz bottle in a tulip.

Pours a dark brown/black color with a beefy British tan colored head. Opaque. Fat rings of web lacing and a thick film remain as the liquid level drops.

Coffee, roasted malt, some caramel and toffee sweetness.

Dark chocolate, dark coffee, and strong roasted malts. A nod to toffee flavor in the English style brew.

Despite the heavy bodied look, it's quite smooth and drinkable. Medium feel with good carbonation. There's some hop bitterness. It lacks any unpleasant aftertaste or film that I've picked up in other porters.

A welcome gift from a beer buddy who brought this back from NC. This is my first of this beer and I'm already looking forward to the rest of the sixer.

 

 

Another beer I purchased from Amazing Clubs as part of their quarterly shipment. Don't really remember this beer but remember the bottle, Sampled about a year ago. Not Normally a fan of dark beer but this one is very tasty. Not much coffee flavor.

 

 

 

On tap at WECO BEER GARDEN

Pours opaque mahogany color with 1 cm tan head. Spotty lacing with light surface carbonation islands.
Coffees, nuts, cocoa aromas.
Smooth malty mouthfeel. Delicious cocoa tobacco with hint of char. No off notes.
A superior porter.

Poured into a shaker pint: color is dark brown, head is tan and presents 1 finger thick, head lingers and then dissipates to ring, spotty lacing.

Smell is light roast, moderate chocolate, hint of grassy hops, some coffee and caramel with warmth.

Taste is cocoa, roasted malt, toast, caramel, coffee, grass and earthy hops.

Mouthfeel is low/moderate carbonation, moderate sweetness, moderate bitterness, lingering light acidity/bitterness.

Overall a very good porter - maybe leans more hoppy/American in style but still very drinkable and well put together.

Poured up in to my porter/stout glass.

Smell: Chocolate covered cherries, with a hint of coffee.

Taste: Taste follows the nose, with dark chocolate cherries, and coffee, almost like candy. Very little bitterness, and not overly sweet. Almost reminds me of Brach`s chocolate covered cherries, only with coffee in the mix.

Mouth feel: Nice medium body, and very creamy.

Overall: This my friends, is a delicious porter to be enjoyed, and savored slowly. I`m ready for more!!

 

 

 

A microbrewery beer club offering. Pours a dark brown color with a small tan head that lasts quite a while. Aroma of black coffee and roasted malts. Taste is dark chocolate and black coffee with a slightly bitter finish.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass served at bonefish grill. Unknown bottle date but it tasted fresh. Pours clear nearly opaque ruby red/brown/black color with a small dense khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing on the glass, with moderate streaming carbonation. Aromas and flavors of big dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, nuts, caramel, toast, biscuit, pine, citrus peel/rind, wood, herbal, char, light vanilla/smoke/molasses. Moderate pine, rind, wood, charred bitterness on the finish. Medium carbonation and medium plus body. Balanced creamy/bready malts, sticky hops, and some resins/char in the mouthfeel. Moderate increasing resin drying after the finish. No acrid/astringent. Very smooth, minimal warming 5.8%. Spot on American style, even though listed as an English style it feels more American from the hop character level. Awesome rich malt complexity and balancing citrus/earthy hops. Loved it.

Pours dark ruby with a 1" tan head, which fades to a wisp. Moderate lacing.

Aroma is strong and roasty, coffee, burned notes.

Taste is coffee grounds, toffee, chocolate, roast malt, black malt.

Full body, light carbonation. Dry, astringent finish.

A nice take on a classic English Porter.

Malty aroma and taste. Robust and full-bodied. Leather and espresso aromas. Slightly sweet, with a hint of coffee on the finish. Sometimes I get a slight licorice note, seems to vary for some reason.
