This is a weird one. The write-up describes this as a blend of Prohibition Porter (hence my designation as a baltic porter) and Hefe Weizen. Mash-up describes this beer perfectly.
Appearance: The ale is a deep porter brown, the only appreciable difference is that it is cloudy like a weizen.
Smell: Again, this is more poerter than weizen, as a nice roasty barley aroma emerges.
Taste: Here things get interesting. The first flavors to hit you are the chocolatey and roasted malts associated with a porter. After that, a soft clove-like weizen flavor emerges. This beer is very baffling because the tastebuds can't really anticipate the flavor, it is all over the board.
Mouthfeel: The transition from porter to weizen is a little abrupt, hurting the mouthfeel a bit.
Drinkability: A rare hybrid that, in my opinion, should not have seen the light of day. There is too much trying to happen here for two very distinct styles of beer.
