WB Porter
West Brothers Brewery

This is a porter’s porter; a nice solid representation of the style. It has a milky aroma with an abundance of toast and a taste like toast and chocolate. It is straight black with almost no carbonation. Its tan head quickly flees.

The one thing holding it back is the flat body. This may be an unfortunate circumstance unique to my visitation. But there’s no getting over it. A fresher pint would have earned higher marks. I can tell what this beer could be and perhaps actually is under better circumstances. But I review beers based on what they are in the moment. This beer at this moment has a rich flavor but a weary body.
