Prairie Dog Porter
Fritz Family Brewers

Had on tap at the brewery

On arrival 1 finger of light khaki fine head were present with an almost creamy look and very good retention. The body is a dark brown just shy of black that let's some light through. Some almost guinness like lacing forms after a couple sips.

Aroma is lightly chocolatey and sweet with a touch of sweet coffee. Some English ale yeast mixes with the roasty sweet notes to make an almost toffee like flavor with a hint of dates.

Taste is more bready than a stout with some nice choclatey dark bread notes coming through strongly. Super smooth taste with a touch of sweetness and dark malty notes with a touch of roast. Very slight roast bitterness comes through but it isn't intense making this mostly sweet and malty in a good way.

The feel is very smooth without being too big. There is a dryness that creeps in for the longer finish. Makes it drinkable and not too heavy, without coming off as light. Super balanced.

Overall I really like this beer. It was one of the first beers I had from here, but I never reviewed it and they stopped making it until now. This tastes like a porter and is actually quite different from their stout which I greatly appreciate.
