Review - Boston Beer Company - Samuel Adams Brewer Patriot Collection #2 - George Washington Porter
No commercial description available
Sam Adams released a limited edition pack of beers intended to replicate the beer recipes of old. In our humble opinion, not only did they succeed in doing this, but they also managed to make it taste like it was brewed 300 years ago. Don't get us wrong, Sam Adams do a lot of things right. We just feel like they really missed the mark with this pack.
Of the four, this was the least desirable offering. It pours a dark brown color with a large, light brown head. Good lacing, mostly diminishing head. Muddy consistency. Aroma is of heavy coffee malts, and soapy yeast with hints of licorice. Initial taste was lightly sweet, quickly growing to a heavy sweet finish with a long duration. Medium to full on the mouth, it has an oily texture with soft carbonation. Comments from the review: the aroma is less than satisfactory; it tasted like coffee grinds, many days old; I can't finish it -- sean.
