Brewed for the GABS festival 2013 in Melbourne. Having visited the brewery two years ago was looking forward to trying another of theirs.
Pours a dark-brown colour, the colour of porters, with foamy beige head, sticks around nicely. Pretty nice-looking porter.
Smell's a bit lacking, quite simple. Touch of cocoa and some sourdough bread graininess, with a slight touch of cinnamon. Really need to sniff around a lot just to get a bit of aroma. Pretty meh.
Taste is overly sweet, and quite insipid. Malty notes upfront with a touch of cocoa-infused puffed rice. Note of caramel on the midway that isn't quite strong enough so it ends up more like carob, and finish is bready while remaining sweet. Not hugely unpleasant but definitely unimpressive.
Thin body, slight carbonation. Not too bad.
Needs more roast even to make it to porter standards. Sweet and insipid, mostly.
