A trademark beer of the Santa Fe Brewing Company’s master brewer, Ty Levis, the State Pen Porter has every reason to be one of his favorites. It is flavorful, swimming with notes of nuts and chocolate; it is drinkable, so drinkable that it is almost as if pint after pint were drinking itself; and it packs a punch, so much so that its drinkability rapidly gives way to a euphoric intoxication that only a true Porter drinker can understand.
Malts: 2-row pale, 30-37 l. Crystal, 70-80 l. Crystal, Chocolate.

Bottle @ Hotelroom, Denver. Pours black with a light brown head. Aroma of hard roasted malt, coffee, dark chocolate, light smoke. Taste is roasted malt, chocolate, nuts, dark fruit, plums. Medium body, soft carbonation . Surprisingly light and easy drinking porter, would have thought different juging from the aroma only. 050411

12oz bottle. Opaque black with a thin, oily, beige head. Roasted chocolate aroma. Well balanced, rich malty tones, with a mild soapy bitterness. A really well executed beer, everything you could want in an American Porter. At times almost nutty, meaty, smoky, some light berry tones as well. Remains quite drinkable despite the relatively big ABV. Nails the style.
