#233 BBC Dark Side Porter

Malty aroma with some strong roasted notes. The color is dark with a little light passing through. The head is pours thick with mild retention.

The taste is dry with lots of dark malt. There is a tannic bitterness to this beer, poorly accenting the dryness. A roasted flavor is coming through but no coffee taste that is common with such dark roasted beers. Some bitterness is present with an ever so slight floral hop taste. The mouthfeel is thin with lots of fizzy carbonation. The finish is dry with some roast notes.

I don’t care for such a dry tannic taste. If the goal of this beer was to make a porter with a ton of dark malt then this is a success, but I am not really thrilled with the beer.
