On-draught @ Orf during their 1 year anniversary open house.
Pours a predictable opaque black body with a quickly dissipating thin khaki colour head atop.
Aptly medium-bodied but not syrupy or overly thick. There's enough body to fill out this robust porter, holding up its rich malty backbone and chocolatey flavour. I don't get any obvious rum flavour or oak from the rum-soaked oak staves this was aged on, but it's a solid porter nonetheless, marrying chocolate malt and dark malt sweetness to good effect without yielding a cloying brew.
Smooth, wet, well-carbonated.
A very drinkable classic porter from Orf, though the intended rum and oak flavours are absent.
I don't see this edging out 512's Pecan Porter in the local market, but with more work on the rum and oak flavours (i.e. use of barrels instead of staves) this could be a real contender. I think I prefer this over Strange Land's Entire Porter, which is saying something. In any case, if the local Austin market has beers this will struggle to surpass, it's tough to imagine it going to battle with good widely distributed expressions of the style like Deschutes' Black Butte or Alaskan Smoked Porter.
I do like that it doesn't shy away from roastiness; this commits to carafa.
