Comments
Slightly hoppy porter
I went to Straight to Ale taproom. As the only Alabama brewer involved in brewing this beer, I was glad I had an opportunity to try this in town. The Biggest Small Beer Ever Made is described as a hoppy porter.
It is a very dark caramel with a tan head. There isn't much lacing.
Smell is mostly coffee with a bit of chocolate. It was rather faint at first, but as I reached the bottom of my glass, I was able to discern more.
Taste is chocolate and coffee with some citrus (grapefruity, but mostly a vague citrus twist blended with the roasted Malts). Full body makes this a sipper, for sure.
