Sierra Nevada Porter from Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.
Rating: B+
Appearance: A rather rough pour yielded a one finger tan head with some nice retention sitting atop a very dark brown, opaque body. Very nice lacing.
Smell: Chocolate and roast are the dominant aromas. Smells like the over-hopped homebrewed stout I have in the secondary right now. Perhaps a touch of dark fruit.
Taste: Starts out surprisingly sweet, finishes on a dry hoppy note, and the aftertaste is all roast malt. Kind of acidic vinous character in there, too, as well as some mild chocolate.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied, smooth. Good carbonation for the style.
Drinkability: Flavor complexity of a stout, drinkability of a porter. A very drinkable beer.
Serving type: bottle
