Beer Tasting: Stegmaier Porter
Stegmaier (by Lion Brewing Co.) - Porter
After the Anniversary IPA, we thought we would try one more from Stegmaier/Lion Brewing.
Have you tasted this beer? Let us know what you think. As a suggestion, try to keep it to as few as words as possible for each of the following: appearance; smell; taste; mouthfeel; and drinkability.
Appearance
Adam: head and ring dissapated quickly
Bryan: Dark typcial porter color, pours with thin head
Smell
Adam: chocolate, black patent malt, very inviting
Bryan: very, very interesting toffee/caramel/chocolate nose; almost imperial stout-like
Taste
Adam: uh...where'd the beer go? thin, not negative, just doesn't live up to the nose
Bryan: less sweet than expected; roasty dryness with moderate bitter notes
Mouthfeel
Adam: thin
Bryan: not memorable and finishes with a slight dirty (?) feel
Drinkability
Adam: yes it is
Bryan: intrigued by the nose, let down a bit by the taste/body, very short finish
Seconds?
Adam: I'm holding a grudge ;-) no
Bryan: maybe one more
