Description:
Hearty malts meld with a subtle balance of hops to create a dark and nurturing ale of comfort and complexity. Hints of bittersweet chocolate and espresso fill the tongue, finishing with just a touch of smoke. Not too sweet or filling, this versatile dark ale dissuades the notion that a darker beer is a stronger beer. Five varieties of roasted malts are the source of Porter’s dark color and rich taste, while two varieties of hops bring a mellow bite to this deep toasty ale. (Description provided by company)

Comments
Nearly Perfect Porter
Southern Tier Porter produced a two-finger beige head on top of the pitch black porter. The aroma was fairly simple, yet rich with the smell of coffee and bread. When I tasted it, I got coffee, slight grassy hops, and some smoke. Felt luscious and thick on the tongue. I'm buying multiples of this next time.
