Holiday Gift 12-Pack - Holiday Porter


I apologize for missing last week. I had a cold and consequently my taste buds were not working properly. So I will have to do 2 next week to get them done in time before xmas.

This week I tried the Holiday Porter. Porter yes / Holiday maybe. It was a good porter. I could definitely taste the chocolate malt that they used, but that was the only nonbeer flavor I got out of it - so if by Holiday they mean chocolate then I guess the name fits. All the same it wasn't overly chocolately - just a hint. Good mouthfeel, moved across the tounge like sandpaper. Good balance, robust but not thick, light enough to be able to drink a few. All in all a descent beer.

I agree - although I havn't tried the winter lager or the cream stout yet. Seeing as how they are regulars for Sam's and I didn't get around to drinking them yet - I may skip posting them.
