Session Porter
ShawneeCraft Brewing Company

 

 

 

on draft at the brewery

dark brown, off-white colored head. taste is mild chocolately malt. too sweet for me, would like more roast flavor. this is more brown porter sub-style, I prefer more robust flavor. medium bodied.

Per my girlfriend (for now), as a review: “it smells like it tastes, which is strong”. Y’all can take that for what it’s worth. Good body (both the beer and the girl), smells like it should, and finishes well. Let’s see about the relationship.

 

 

 

An excellent beer tastes great and has great feel. Better on tap than bottled.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I picked this up at Brass Rail in Campbelltown, enjoyed chilled in a cervoise.

The color is dark brown strong coffee presence with thick sandstone head clarity is hazed with very fine bead and lasting retention. The smell is full of malt with roasted and light bready aromas with a light cococa aspect and mild tobacco-like woody earthiness. The feel is alright with tangy and light roasted body with subtle creaminess and mild carbonation with low bitterness except there is a light tannic aspect I am not found of, mildly sour in the background.

The flavor starts woody without much malt sweetness more of an earthy dry and roasted flavor to begin with mild yeast adding a tangy quality almost like plum which starts to overtake the malt roastiness with hint of very dark cococa and some toasted bread crust in the finish. Overall I found this to be a decnent beer in general, but it lacks a little bit of malt depth. The light sour component while it isn't bad is not what I expected - the label really only mentions this is a second runnings from the Imperial Porter.
