My last post was "after a long haitus" so I can't really comment about that even though it is now a year and a half later. I'm currently searching for a good Porter. Why? Because I remember drinking Yuengling's Porter at Mont Serrat in Philadelphia years ago while dining on Spinach burgers. For me, this porter is a combination of wine and beer with the positive qualities of both. Ironically they are from PA where I was for a bit and ironically you can't get it in Florida. Like a lot of things - but I digress.
I haven't had much luck unpublished - and now, on a mission, I intend to write about my attempts and restart this blog a bit.
My first attempt (published) is Left Hand Brewing Company's Porter. No - it is not Yuengling's odd balance between beer and wine - it's more the typical porter that turns out to be almost what I'd call a chocolate wine. It's like a dark chocolate Muscat. A French-American with a sweet tooth. Not to say it's not a stable beer (or a staple) - it's a good flavor - not too much - just enough kind of beer - but still beer. A nice heavy, dark beer with, um, a touch of chocolate. And not too sweet or too much on the flavor.
I'd definitely buy again if I food the mood for it. Which happened to be pork ribs this time around and it did truly work.
