Trade Route Purple Yam Porter

From Skyview. This beer has an aroma of sweet potatoes, or should I say, yams. Dark brown color. Medium palate. Lots of starch in this beer, some more sweet potato in the flavor, as well as malt.

Bomber shared by Enniskillen; labeled Laughing Budda Purple Yam Porter. Nose of coffee with vanilla and sweet potatoe notes.Clear very dark brown with a large beige head. Flavor is very light bitterness, chocolate, white pepperiness, and starchy potatoes.

22 oz bottle courtesy of bvc. Pour is cloudy black purple, with nice settling building up a thick two inch beige head. Aroma of roast malt, sweet vanilla milkiness and a leafy vegetable note. Soft and natural nose. Taste is initially sweet vanilla, with roasty malt soon behind that. The vegetable note from the nose kicks in mid-palate and is very much the yams. Weird flavor, not off-putting really, just unique and strange. Palate is medium heavy, a bit chalky and has a longer finish. Overall odd beer, but reasonably tasty. Extra point for ongoing creativity. Thanks Brandon.
