Pint Bottle
My favorite desert on Thanksgiving day is always the Pecan Pie. It would obviously follow that I would have to pick up a bottle of a beer labeled "Pecan Pie Porter".
This beer pours incredibly dark with a tiny bit of dark brown head, a very tiny bit. Not even a quarter of an inch. Scent reveals pecans and brown sugar, as I would expect, but also a hint of chocolate, possibly because of the porter malt. First sip reveals a very smooth texture with light carbonation. A nice bold porter flavor. Strong hints of pecan and brown sugar (as I had hoped and expected, because of the labeling and because it is brewed using both). Chocolatey/vanilla sweet undertones, maybe even a bit of molasses, none of which are overpowering and all of which compliment the porter nicely. Alcohol is well hidden for 7% ABV.
Overall a quality beer and definitely worth a try, especially at just under $6 for a pint bottle. Fairly nice pecan pie taste to this one, but nothing groundbreaking in terms of porters or beers with nutty flavors.
Overall Rating: 3.5/5
