Banjo Cat Black Porter
One Barrel Brewing Company

Look : can't see through it
Sufficiently carbonated. tan hea. Looks delicious

Smell roasted malt... Subtle notes of chocolate... Some under lying hop..

Taste: very roasted... Mellow... Clearly has some black patent malt but not overdone... Coffee... Some toffee... A really nice palette and some variety here ... Late caramel and lactose sweetness comes into play... Melted chocolate mouth feel

Overall: well executed... It's well in the ballpark complexity is malt caramel chocolate coffee... Bitterness is hot derived but subtle behind the bitter notes by the roasted flavor... Well executed layered a touch to the sweet side

Mouth feel: smooth... Melted chocolate... There's some lactose

Overall: This is a great beer... When you buy single can... you never know how long it's been around ... but even if this is aged.... It's more than holding its own. A micro brew from Green Bay WI well done guys... I'll look for you again

From the taproom in Egg Harbor, WI, Good, not great.

 

A friend brought me a couple of these back from Wisconsin.
Poured into a pint glass very dark, nearly black with strong coffee brown highlights when back lit. The beige head grew quickly and dissipated almost as quickly.
The aroma is sadly lost on my Covid damaged nose,
The taste starts out full throttle deep roasted malts without the harsh found in some. And at the swallow the hops kick in to bring an edge of sorts to the taste - but the hop presence is mild, only enough to be noticed. Really encourages another sip.
The feel is really well done, a slight viscosity that just seems perfect for the style but doesn't enter into the realm of chewy.
OA, this is a very well done porter; I'm quite surprised to be the one entering it into the database!
