Black Dawn Coffee Porter
Mattingly Brewing Company

A - Pours completely black with no light getting through. An extremely small off-white head formation leaves quickly.

S - Mostly coffee in the nose, some chocolate, some roasted malt.

T - Roasted malt mixes well with some sweetness that reminds me of dark chocolate. Coffee bean flavors through the finish. Very little bitterness.

M - A little on the thin side.

D - Very drinkable, in fact I had no problem drinking two of these.

On-tap at MBC in pint glass. Dark, dark beer, no light getting through this one. Nice light half centimeter head that lingers and a full coffee nose with a hint of sweetness.

Taste was quite good and compliments the smell of this fine example of the style. Mouthfeel was excellent and overall a very drinkable beer and nothing so rich that you wouldn't want another if you were of a mind.

Welp, another winner on tap at MBC. If you like coffee, as I do, you will luv this full bodied rich cup of Joe... I mean beer. Black as night (just before dawn I guess, heh) with a frothy tan head - it looks as good as it drinks. Of course, roasted coffee beans in the aroma, and a biting jolt with the quaff. Finishes clean and crisp with a sturdy dose o' hops to round it out.

I luv coffee brews, and I really dug this one. I could drink this for an evening, with ease and enjoyment.
