Evets' Smoked Porter
by admin on Apr.15, 2008, under ale, beer, porter, smoked beer
Background: Homebrewed by HomeBrewTalk member Evets. Received as part of the 08/08/08 RIS swap.
Appearance: Opaque brown, minimal head.
Nose: Sweet, roasted malt. A hint of smoke.
Taste: Too much smoke. A background of earthiness, caramel sweetness, and cocoa. Dry, very slightly astringent finish.
Mouthfeel: On the light side of medium, good level of carbonation.
Overall: Needs easing up on the smoke, or something more to counterpoint the heavy smoke. I'm not sure what, though. The mouthfeel and what I could discern of the base beer were both good.
