One hundred years after the Mayflower landed at Plymouth, a new beer style emerged in England. Taking its cues from “Three Threads”, a bartender’s blend of three distinct ales, Porter became the beer of choice for 18th-century Londoners. Mayflower Porter embraces this history. This complex brew is smooth and full-flavored with notes of roasted coffee beans and bittersweet chocolate that will warm the palate all year long. # MALT # Two-Row Pale, Crystal 105, Chocolate, Peated # HOPS # Galena, East Kent Goldings # YEAST # Top-Fermenting Ale # ORIGINAL GRAVITY # 14.3° Plato # BITTERNESS # 33 IBU # ALCOHOL # 5.5% ABV # COLOR # Black # AVAILABILITY # Year-round in 6 Packs, ½ BBL, ¼ BBL

Ripe fruit and roasted malt in the nose, maybe some cinnamon. Pours opaque black body with minimal off-white head and little lace. Mouth is Ok, a bit thin, good carbonation. Taste is ripe fruit, some tar, sweet cotton candy. Nothing special but drinkable.

A vigorous pour into my New Belgium globe goblet produces a two finger thick, light brown colored head. The beer is quite dark with an almost black color, it shows a brilliantly clear, deep, dark ruby color I held up directly to my desk lamp. The aroma has a nice dark grain character to it with aromas of chocolate, toasted bread crust, browned saltine crackers and burnt grain. The aroma is very malt focused, and pretty smooth for all of its roast grain focus.
Lightly sweet tasting, the beer quickly picks up some dryness from the roast grain flavors. The beer finishes with a burnt grain bitterness, a touch of roasted astringency, some light acidity as well as a touch of roasted vegetal notes (this last is pretty faint thankfully). This has a nice, rich, dark malt character to it that provides a complex sweetness to this brew. The beer is fairly light bodied, which definitely makes this easy to drink, though some of the sharper, roast & acid notes can get in the way of this at times. The sweetness found here evokes thoughts of lightly burnt caramel, perhaps a touch of dark chocolate and some notes reminiscent of lightly roasted coffee beans sweetened with lactose.
Not overly complex, but it does play the dark malt note pretty well. There is not much in the way of hop or fermentation character here, which is definitely ok by me.
