Finally I have another dark beer in my hand! It’s been a bit of time. I would have liked something sturdier, but a porter can also be very enjoyable, with its layers and details that make you stop and think about what you’re really drinking. Drunken Bros. Remastered Porter might have crossed my table before, but this is “remastered”. And it looks like there have been some additions to the ingredients list for some extra flavor sensations. It’s not a pumpkin beer, nor a pumpkin pie beer, but there might be some dessert elements.
A handsome chocolate syrup colored liquid, and a mocha head, it starts out well with its appearance. The aroma is smoky, with a whisper of fruit. Maybe raisins? The orange is not especially noticeable, which I appreciate. However, it does pop up when you take a nice soothing sip, a little orange drink in a watered-down coffee. It’s an interesting balance of typical black beer warmth and a little citrus to lighten the load, probably making it more attractive at all times of the year. There’s a weird prickliness about it, it’s not as smooth as it seemed like it was going to be, but that gives it some punch and something memorable. I have the wish in the back of my mind for something heavier, more seasonal…I guess it’s time to go shopping.
