A great porter just feels right in your hand. And carrying a glass of Portage Porter is no different. An opaque, brown pour, this beer presents with coffee and chocolate aromas, with hints of toast and smoked almonds. The taste follows suit, adding an upfront sweetness and a slight, roasty bitterness to back it up. Creamy and wonderful, this porter sips a medium body and finishes dry and delightful. Portage Porter carts itself towards perfection. Just tip your glass and keep smiling. Available January 2015.

Pours warm coffee brown with a thick and rather persistent tan head. Toasty malt has notes of sweet chocolate and roast coffee plus a hint of molasses. Pleasing flavor has roast malt, coffee, and chocolate notes with a subtle molasses undertone. Texture is somewhat firm, while fizz is weak but enough so you know this is beer. Drink, drink, drink your porter.

Besides Fat Tire when I first got into craft beer, New Belgium's beers haven't really done much for me. Not counting the Lips of Faith series, this is one of the better ones that they are distributing here. Stays true to the style, though the balance leans heavily towards the sweet side. On the thicker side for the style. I prefer more of a medium and creamy texture. Only sampled a single for now. The price is right when this goes on sale, so may wind up grabbing a 12-pack one day....in other words....just makes the cut.

Pretty straight forward. Black in color body. Big frothy light brown head rising above. Good hang time on the head. A thick creamy ringlet is left. Toasted nose. More of the same roastiness in the tasting. Lends to notes of chocolate. Medium bodied. I'll order another.

Poured a black body with a thin khaki head that left spotty lace. Smell is dry roasted malts, hints of coffee, and chocolate malt sweetness as well. A dry, stout like porter with roasted/coffee malts being up front but enough chocolate sweetness to balance things out. Overall a tasty and easy drinking porter.
