On tap at Shoreline Brewery, Michigan City. Deep opaque brown body, thin beige head. Toasty nose with burnt brown sugar and dark fruit notes. Weird body with a peculiar heavy, oxidized caramel character, a hint of plastic, and scorched grain husks. Heavy on the palate, like a lifeless bock. This beer reminded me I couldn’t actually see the shoreline from the brewery.

12 oz hand bottle shared by tjthresh, courtesy of BBB63 - enjoyed at the csbosox tasting on 3/7/08. Pour is brown - mahogany with only thin white bubbles for a head. Aroma of candy sugar sweetness, caramel and some roastiness. The smokiness is in the nose, though pretty muted. Taste is grainy and sugary; rye almost. Traditional Porter flavors, along with the smoke, emerge in the middle through the finish. Huge thanks to both Mike and Tom!
