Moose Point Porter
Kassik's Kenai Brew Stop

 

Pours almost black with a fluffy tan head.

Tastes of roasted malts with a hint of coffee, dry and light dark chocolate. There's mild bitterness in the dry finish. It has a thin mouthfeel and is subdued overall.

Dark brown color where no light passes through the glass. Beige had which remains throughout the tasting. The place is a combination of moderate spots and short steaks.

Deep burnt malt aroma -- like ash and charcoal. I also get a strong metallic smell of iron.

A bit Rossignol thin for the style with a higher carbonation level. This is a dry Porter with bitterness coming from both the burnt (black patent) malt and the neutral hop. There's a bite to the swallow but it doesn't translate into a long aftertaste.

 

Into a mug. The appearance has a black colored body with a slim half finger white foamy head, slight foamy lacing seems to speckle just a bit. The smell came across kinda smokey and a slight dark chocolate comes through in a weird sort of way, not exactly sure how to take this. The taste came through a sort of a smokey and sweet through the most part, slight smokey/meaty aftertaste, super dry finish. This one sits about a medium on the palate, though it gives off a somewhat sessionable quality to it. Carbonation is fairly subdued, but good for the style. Overall, this is not a normal porter I’m used to, a little bit smokier than I thought it would be but still a good one. Pretty sure I’d have this one again.

 

 

Good dar color. Pale tan head.
Nose is a bit larger. Uninspiring.
Taste is good, malty, mild, not sweet.
Mouth feel is moderately, woyldnt mind more richness and less carbonation.
Finish is short and a little "American" lager, but inoffensive.
Good for session Porter, but not exciting.

 

Pours a deep thick brown with a tan covered rocky head. Has a chocolate and light roast nose. Has a well balanced chocolate sweet with roasted malt character. Has a smooth texture that turns to roast at the backend. Nice porter.

Pretty straight forward porter, nothing too special. There are hints of coffee and chocolate which become more pronounced as the beer warms up. Pours nearly black, somewhat smooth mouthfeel with slight acidity. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a relatively straight-shooting porter.

 

Wow this is a really dark porter! Very black with a hint of dark ruby red sneaking through in a bright enough light. I'm getting a lot of roasted smells with a hint of sweetness. Starts off with a coffee taste which leads to a slight chocolate bitterness then quickly moves on to a mapley sweet finish. I'd say medium body, nicely carbonated. Worth a try for porter fans.
