Thunderbolt
Baerlic Beer Company

Poured into a Fremont small snifter. Pours a very dark mahogany brown, appearing opaque black in the glass with a thin dark khaki head that dissipates to patches with light lacing. Aroma of dark toasted malt, bakers chocolate and a touch of coffee. Flavor is dark toasted and light biscuit malt, bakers chocolate, drip coffee; a little coffee/char builds into a drier chocolate and malt finish. Medium bodied with light to moderate creaminess. A solid, well made American style porter with just a touch of char that is more noticeable in the finish, good coffee and chocolate notes. Somewhat subdued overall, it's well balanced and mellow. The oats give it some body depth, giving it a nice mouth feel. Not a thunderbolt, but certainly and clean, satisfying porter.
