Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is Speakeasy Ales & Lagers
Payback Porter.
Commercial description: “American hops provide a smooth
distraction for Payback Porter’s robust strength, which is concealed within the
shadows of dark imported malts.”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours black with a nice mocha colored head and
thick lacing.
Aroma: Coffee, chocolate, caramel, roasted malts and piney
hops.
Taste: Chocolate, caramel and roasted malts, slight coffee
flavor, smoky with a mild hop bitterness.
Overall: Speakeasy Ales & Lagers Payback Porter is a nice
robust Porter perfect for winter weather.
At 7.5% ABV the alcohol is well hidden.
Maybe not my favorite Porter, but I’d certainly drink this one again.
Cheers!
Mark Harvey
