Review from sfgoat

Now for cmoewes' porter.

Aroma: definitely malty on the nose. I 'm getting a lot of caramel and chocolate aroma that smells amazing.

Appearance: clear with a tan head that lingered and laced the glass. A very attractive beer.

Flavor: very malty with lots of caramel. The chocolate is suttle as it should be imho. Very smooth drinking porter. Very little hop flavor or aroma . But the slight bitterness is there.
Mouthfeel: creamy and smooth is the only way I can describe this.

Overall. Very good, well balanced porter. I could easily drink this over and over again and I tend to stray from porters because most over do it on the chocolate malts but yours was delicious and the flavors lingered on the tongue. I tip my imaginary hat to you for a porter that I can enjoy.
 
I brewed this a while back and just got around to trying mine out. It was just as good if I remembered yours being. Mine may have had a slight taste difference as I used wyeast 1469 for my yeast and I roasted my own brown malt from 2-row but it was still delicious as was the original.
