Old World Dark Knight Porter
Old World Brewery

 

 

I thought this beer was very good. It's a local beer for me now since I just moved away from PA having Victory in my back yard. This was a nice rendition of a Porter. Nice coffee and chocolate notes played off the malt perfectly. A think body would yield higher score.

 

A bottle brought back from Phoenix by my wife after visiting friends. Pours a very black colour with next to no head. Smells of chocolate. Tastes of chocolate & coffee.
As a Porter, which bills itself as 'a touch of evil' it was very underwhelming.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love trying beers from brewery's that I never tasted. Here's a 12 ounce bottle from Old World. On to the beer:

That's a thin head on top this ink black beer, where with time a few spots of lace stick to the glass. Okay so far. Sniff....there's a strange ointment which taints the sweet and roasty malt, which the latter pair smells like potential enjoyment. Oh geez, here we go...I taste sour grapes in an unappealing way. What a buzzkill, because the roasty and sweet malt behind that wall tastes pleasant. It's medium bodied with somewhat low carbonation, but damn, I was not ready for a sour porter.

 

 

 

 

 

This porter had a dark brown color with a quickly diffused head. The smell had some off notes which I would quickly discover was from infection. The flavor tainted and it was obviously infected. I couldn't take more than a mouthful of this before throwing it away. I have seen similar reviews from others on this site so I feel confident this was not an isolated incident.
