With the cooler weather this past weekend I thought it was the perfect time to journey out and taste a few beers on the roasty, toasty dark side. The late fall and winter months always bring out great winter warmers, porters and imperial stouts and after drinking IPAs and DIPAs all summer my taste buds were ready for a switch. Below is a quick recap of my journey.
Friday 16, 07
1st stop
General Lafayette Inn and Brewery
Chocolate Thunder Porter (Mocha colored head, roasty, bittersweet chocolate with hints of coffee and a dry finish).
Dinner with my Fiance
Twenty Manning
Surprise find!!!
Sprague Farm and Brew Works, Hellbender Robust Porter (Murky deep deep brown color, roasted malt aroma, medium mouth feel and light chocolate sweetness)
After Dinner
Tria Cafe
Weyerbacher, Insanity (Thin head, dark amber pour, vanilla, caramel, hops and bourbon taste. Strong alcohol presence).
Bell's, Expedition (Pours black with aroma of dark fruit, chocolate and espresso. Thick mouth feel and alcohol warming effect.) My favorite of the night
Journey's End
Home in front of the fire
Brooklyn Brewing, Black Chocolate Stout (Pitch black pour with a medium tan head. Aromas of roasted malt, dark chocolate and fruit. Warm mouth feel.). Second favorite.
A beautiful end to a wonderful trip.
