Smokey Porter 2018 Review

Aroma: Slightly acrid smoke aroma. Malty background, light sweetness. Hint of chocolate / dark roast. Hop aroma very low.


Appearance: Tan head with rocky texture, ok retention, dark black body.


Taste: Light malt sweetness, somewhat acrid smoke, moderate woody bitterness. It taste a little tart. Bitterness is moderate. Has kind of a woody note.


Mouthfeel: A little thin. Carbonation is low. Slight astringency at the end.

Overall: Ok but not super characterful. I'd like a little more sweetness, more body, and more complexity. Use more hops at the end. Perhaps use some Munich or Maris Otter malt, and higher mash temp.
