Heretic Brewing "Shallow Grave" Porter 7%abv (Porter)
From Pittsburg California, a deep dark brown with a billowy honey cake head. Sour dark chocolate aromatics with some bready sourdough and pastry. Deliciously light but bursting with complex flavours, one of the reasons Porter is a favourite style of mine. So much there but isn't at all challenging, backs up with some sweet malt and gorgeous toasty espresso malt and dare I say soy sauce. Smooth and very satisfying this is a lovely import but isn't so special it's worth trying hard to track down. Very well balanced and very easy drinking, mellows beautifully and provides some really amazing flavours, it just seems a little ordinary to be giving this much. Once again I'm a little too under the influence to continue, this is a really enjoyable beer but not too much so.
