Puddle Pirate Porter
Cape Charles Brewing Company

An unusual Porter, but it works!!! Poured from a 16 oz. can into a pint glass, this beer features a light brown color that looks more ruby red when held to a light. The slightly off-white head is big and frothy with very good retention. Lots of frosty lacing rings on the glass. Aroma and taste really do not feature the malt. Coconut, vanilla and chocolate are all more prominent than toasted or bready malt. Mouthfeel is light for a Porter but not watery. Not much bitterness. Light, not overly malty....it is a bit unusual but with good flavor. I liked it.

 

From the pint can, it pours a slightly hazy dark brown color with a nice light brown head that slowly reduces and leaves lacing. The nose gets some coconut over malt. The mouth follows with a smooth feeling, with tastes of bitter chocolate and coconut.

 

 

 

This is one of the most drinkable porters I've seen in a long time. As a user of beer advocate for years, this provoked me to make an account to give it a fair review

Such a solid neutral taste, very smooth almost nitrogen level smooth, with nothing too strong that will have you hating beer three

This is an excellent beer worth trying if you like porters, with only two reviews this needed an "advocate" of sorts.
