Tuckaleechee Porter

A black beer with a collapsing brown head. The of butteracid, roasted malt, as well as hints of chocolate. The flavor also contains butteracid, roasted malt, and chocolate, besides hints of coffee.

Nice colour--an opaque dark brown/black. Good burnt/roasted/caramely scents come from the top. Good overall taste, a good mouthfull for palating....but a decent all around beer!

Rerate 03/28/03: I tried a different bottle of this from a different trade and it did taste better, but it is still not a great beer. There was still a faint vinegar presence in the aroma, but the flavor was noticeably better with some chocolate and coffee. 12/02/02 (1.1):Thanks to Trappist for this brew. As with the Black Bear Ale the vinegar presence in this beer ruins it. I even made sure to get a new glass in case the vinegar from the last beer was not completely washed out. No luck though. It's a shame because you can tell there is a good beer under all that vinegar. I will try to track this one down again some day because this can't be on purpose.
