This is a concept beer for us. How do you make a classic American Porter that doesn't weigh you down and allows you to drink more than a couple? Brewed to be light but still full on flavor, we brewed this beer with a large variety of specialty roasted malts and a large portion of Rye Malt for a slight spicy and dryfinish. Toasted chocolate and notes of baking spaces will intermingle in your glass.

Poured into a becher pint glass, the appearance was a dark brown close to black color with a finger’s worth of white to off white foamy head that dissipated at a nice pace. Fairly light speckled lace. The aroma started off with the roasted malts, some coffee to chocolate intertwining with a nice robust to rugged dryness. A slight spiciness from some rye enters in for a nice blend. The flavor takes the previously mentioned aromas to blend with a slight toastiness. Nice blend all around and smoothly leads into the aftertaste and finish. On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a great sessionability about it. Good carbonation. ABV felt appropriate. Overall, really nice crushable porter well worthy to bring in Spring. Definitely would have again.

Beer is named "Back Forty" not "Black Forty."
