Ale Asylum Contorter Porter

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5

Pours a very dark brown with no head to think of. Some little chunks in the bottom of the glass, in fact I heard something "plunk" into the glass. Aroma is very roasted with a strong hint of coffee grounds and a little chocolate. Taste is strong of coffee grounds, light chocolate, and dark roasted malts. Texture is quite gritty and somewhat creamy. Finishes off fairly sticky and dry. Not my favorite.

Thanks to Phishpond. This one pours mahogany black with a medium tan head and some lacing. Little carbonation. Aromas of bitter chocolate, coffee and sweet molasses. Taste is smooth and creamy with a choco-coffee bitterness and a slight almost-burnt molasses sweetness. Nice.

Pours an opaque rich brown with a foamy tan head releasing plenty of well-roasted malt, chocolate and coffee aromas. Soft and creamy on the palate with a great roasted malt flavor well blended with solid hops. Long, and mellow dry finish wth dark chocolate notes. A very smooth, satisfying, well-made Porter.
