Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is Phat Matt's Brewing Company
Porter Ale.
Commercial description: “At 7% ABV and 64 IBU’s
the late hop additions contribute floral and pine aroma’s that make this Matt’s
personal favorite. The hop profile is not overpowering, starting crisp and
fresh and building to a mellow, bitter finish. A generous dry hop emphasizes a
green hop accent with an enjoyable aroma.”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours
dark brown with a thin beige head and spotty lacing.
Aroma: Roasted
and chocolate malts with a noticeable pine hop aroma.
Taste: Toasted
malts, pine, slight chocolate malt presence and a touch sweet with a lingering
bitter chocolate aftertaste.
Overall: Phat
Matt's Brewing Company Porter Ale is creamy and nice. This 7% ABV offering is worth a try and although
it didn’t blow me away it was worth drinking and reviewing.
Cheers!
Mark Harvey
