Review - Odell Brewing Company's Cutthroat Porter
"Not quite a stout but definitely no lightweight, Cutthroat Porter is smooth and robust. Inspired by the classic London porters, we use dark roasted malts to create a deep, rich color and flavor that hint at chocolate and coffee. We named it Cutthroat Porter as our tribute to the Colorado state fish - with its own rich heritage and unmistakable dark coloring. And while we're big fans of small batches, here's to the currently threatened Cutthroat population reaching mass quantities." -- Odell Brewing Company
Pours a dark dark black color with a large, frothy light-brown head. Excellent lacing with a mostly lasting head. Chocolate malts are abundantly present in the nose, with notes of lightly roasted coffee. Initial taste is lightly sweet, and finishes smooth and lightly bitter with a slight tinge of sweet. Light in body, it has a watery texture that makes it very drinkable. Active carbonation.
Amber had a beergasm. It's a bit nutty. Sweet coffee taste.
