Dark Matter Wheat Porter
Logboat Brewing Co.

 

 

First off, I'm not sure I'm reviewing the correct beer here
Mine only says Porter not wheat porter. The cans look very similar aside from that
All I can say is the beer I am drinking is fantastic.
Thick, creamy head and lacing that hasn't even begun to subside as I am typing this.
Nice roasty smell
Mouth fee is smooth and creamy but still could be slightly less "fizzy"
Dry finish... If I have to nitpick it might have a slightly watery aftertaste.

Still this beer may just find itself near the top of my reviews here in BA

 

A: back in color with a light tan head.

S: dark malt, coffee, and a touch of brown sugar.

T: vanilla, light coffee, and toasted malts.

M: medium thick, moderate carbonation, and a medium dry finish.

O: tasty. Dig it.

 

 

Clear medium brown color with a moderate tan head that settles down to just a ring with a little island of foam in the center that stays all the way down. It does manage a bit of decent lacing on the way.
The aroma is toasted sweet malt with hints of plum and chocolate.
The taste starts as mildly sweet toasted malt followed by a hint of burnt toast, plums, raisins, coffee and chocolate, finishes with a touch of burnt toast bitterness.
The body is light but a bit "slick", smooth and easy to drink.
Altogether this is a fairly well balanced and pleasant porter, very nice.

 

Poured from a can. Dark in color with a good sized tan head. Smells of roasted grain, chocolate and malt. Flavor follows the smell and it all comes together nicely. Very enjoyable.

Poured from a 12oz can into a tulip glass. Pours a deep black with a khaki head that dissapears quickly. Smell is of dark fruit and roasted malts. Flavor follows the smell with a rich malt note and some chocolate flavor. Feel is incredibly smooth, with little noticeable bitterness or syrupy feeling. Very good beer, will buy again.

12 oz can, dated 10/1/20, into Calusa snifter.

Slightly muddy light brown pour, forming a medium brown to dark brown in the glass, with a firm creamy Guinness-like finger of head.

Aroma brings manure and slight ash. A touch of chocolate malt.

Flavor is roasty and sweet, bringing elements of caramel, malted milk ball, dark chocolate squares, and nutty cashew.

Feel is not too thin for me at all, it has a nice body. Wet feel, good carbonation level, no heat, slight acidity. Good bite to it. Some roasty dryness on the finish.

Overall, a pretty decent porter that started off a bit lackluster but once it hit my lips it all came together. Would probably pick another one up again sometime.

Price paid : $1.49 / can
Would buy again : sure

Pours nicely, head diminishes quickly. Not much chocolate aroma, more toasted malt, coffee. Is thinner than most porters, but very drinkable and tasty.
