Replaced by a new, German-built brew house this October, the old Century served us well, and deserved a chance to live its glory one last time.
It has done so in Resolution Porter. Brewed to the Baltic porter style that is essentially a variant of the imperial stout style, Resolution Porter features 7 malts for rich depth of flavor. Characteristics of dark cherries and oak are apparent, but tempered by lager fermentation and cold aging. Hoist a glass of this extremely limited lager as you draft your New Year's resolutions.
Malts: 6 imported, German malts and British roast barley
Hops: 3 German and British varieties of whole hop flowers Alcohol by Vol. 8.3%

XBF05 draught. This beer pours a nearly transluscent mahogany brown, with some dark chestnut and light auburn tints. Any head that forms while pouring, rapidly disipates. Aroma smells VERY strongly of sour German yeast, hints of baker’s chocolate and light notes of ash and roast. First sip proves to be quite flavorful, with sweet caramel and milk chocolate notes on the forefront. As I drink more, a sour yeast flavor creeps up and sets up shop. Now I can’t seem to get the yeast flavor out of my mouth. Lactic and very out of place, it seems to dominate the flavor. The body is slightly watery, with notes of dry, almost astringent yeast or overly roasted grains. Though, I make it sound too dry, when it does have some decent chocolate and earthy brown malt flavor. A beer that demands another sample.
