Pigasus Porter
Kannah Creek Brewing Company

a lighter feeling and drinking beer than it looks like it should be, a darker chocolate brown color to it, and a high rising head as well. it smells just a little funky, almost like some brett has creeped into it, but the flavorful malt base remains in tact despite the lightest vinegar thing happening on the nose. i get dry cocoa, a little richer chocolate depth, and some dark bread characteristics. its flavor hits me instantly, as there is a big rush of bubbles right away, sort of forcing the issue. earthy with a little bitterness and roast, some darker grain in here, but it doesnt materialize in body, which keeps this drinking quite light really, even though all the layers of grain flavor are here. i get a note of cola or something in here, a little middle sweetness, even a flash of vanilla, but its dry by the finish, ever so slightly funky, which i think is unintentional, probably also a product of it not being super fresh in my experience, but its kind of flattering to the beer. ill have to revisit this one when i am out by the brewery. i used to see beer from these guys in the market, but it looks like it has gone away, its been a long time anyway. i enjoyed this surprising porter.

I tried this at the brewery. It poured a near opaque dark with white head that did not leave much lace. The scent had chocolate malt tones. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with chocolate, earth and hints of roast present. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with smooth carbonation. Overall it was an ok beer.

On-Tap 16 oz. (Kannah Creek)
4.7 ABV

Pours a very nice dark brown color, nice carbonation, nice one-finger plus creamy off-white head, ton's of sticky lacing left behind. The nose is malty, nice chocolate note. The taste is malty/chocolate notes. Medium body. Overall a tasty brew.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Appearance: Deep Brown with caramel colored head.

Smell: Toffee and roasted malt in abundance. Spot on with almost, dare I say, an Imperial aroma to it.

Taste: Toffee with bitter chocolate hints followed by a coffee hint at the finish.

Mouthfeel: Lively carbonation keeps lifting the aromas back into the nose, I like this beer quite a bit.

Drinkability: Thank you master may I have another!

Recieved a pint with a cap of creamy tan foam. Served in a standard nonic. The body was deep brown/ mahogany. Clear of sediment.

Smell was minimal. Roasted malts.

Taste was roasty bitterness. Light tartness. Chocolate, cocoa powder notes. Rich but not stout-like. Very refreshing and easy to drink.

Mouthfeel was prickly and medium bodied.

A - Dark brown with ruby highlights and a substantial tan head.

S - Mostly chocolate aromas accompanied by some roast character and fruity esters.

T - Roasy coffee flavors dominate with a great balance of chocolate, black malt, and a good bitterness.

M - medium full bodied with a slight carbonation giving this beer a great balance.

This was a very good beer, perhaps a slight bit astringent but I would expect this from the grains used... Good balance, and very drinkable.
