New Brew Thursday continues! Sorry I missed last week... things have been hectic with home buying. Still working out of the archives here with this import.
Meantime Brewing Company - Coffee Porter
Beer Type: English Porter
Appearance: Nicely shaped 11.2 oz brown bottle with a classy label. Makes me think of steampunk for some reason. Beer pours a dark brown-amber that appears a bit hazy?
Smell: No shock here, first up is the roasted malt, brewed coffee, and a sweet molasses smell.
First Drink: Not sweet at all! First up is a bitter flavor from the malt (odd) that is a bit bright tasting? Kinda watery but the coffee comes through in the finish.
Mouthfeel: Seems too thin for what I would normally consider a porter but still comes across as medium-bodied if that makes any sense at all? A bit highly carbonated?
Last Drink: More sweetness and coffee coming though now. Seems balanced though I am not sure I like it.
Drinkability: A nice sipping beer though pretty pricey here in the US. I think this one bottle was something like $4.00.
Notes: Not as sweet or as heavy as I would have liked but the coffee flavor is nice and robust.
Verdict: 3.25 out of 5. Not my favorite coffee brew but it's always good to try something new!
