Foundation Brewing Company

 

16oz can. Poured out an opaque, jet-black color with a large, light brown head of foam. It left sticky patches of lace on the glass. It smelled of chocolate, toffee and floral notes. Sweet dark chocolate taste with toffee, coffee and a subtle bitterness.

 

 

 

Picked up some cans at the brewery.

A - Poured into my Duvel tulip a nice deep, rich mahogany brown with a fat two finger mocha head that fades slowly to leave light lacing and a thick, creamy blanket.

S - Aromas of rich roasted malts, cereal grains and burnt sugar biscuits, pleasant nuttiness as well as dry cocoa powder and flashes of coffee. Smell is spot on for an English Porter.

T - Taste is again spot on for the style. Excellent roasted dark malts and sticky toffee biscuits, slight sweetness from the malts. The chocolate gets a bit chalky, however, that's on point for the style. Little bit of acrid bitterness on the finish that lingers.

M - Mouthfeel is nicely carbonated, however, the body is a bit light resulting in it coming across as slightly thinner than it really is.

O - Overall this was a very solid, straight forward English Porter. Well executed and true to style which is a nice breath of fresh air amongst a sea of hazy ipas.

Dark brown color where only minimal light passes along the edge. Decent beige provides plentiful spotty lace.

Semisweet chocolate nose with a touch of cocoa powder. Light chalk.

More cocoa to the tongue. Good body with an elevated carbonation level. The swallow is dry but has a hint of raspberry. Dark chocolate aftertaste. Although the description sounds like a one trick pony, this is a complex and subtle beer.

 

Dark brown chocolate with a 3F head in a tulip.

Roasted malt aroma.

Excellent creamy MF.

Roasted malt, coffee, chocolate taste.

More vibrant than other porters. I was looking for more chocolate and a smoother flavor. Otherwise, an excellent porter.
