Handwritten notes: A neat-o Porter, reminding me why I like Porter. It certainly isn't "too much" and therefore it is a Goldilocks beer. (Remember that term. I have just coined it. Every time you use it you MUST pay Pat Riley $17.41). Somehow the lightness of a porter allows more space for the dark beer flavours to roam. On second sip, there is a sort of not-unpleasant woody taste that is omnipresent. You know, you drink over 500 different beers and you begin to become jaded. I say "Oh, another porter. Great." when I should be saying "OH, another Porter!!!! GREAT!!!" I think this beer has revirginized* my taste buds. Well, it's not that dramatic, but it's pretty solid.
