I was sent this a while ago by a buddy who lives in Chicago. It's some sort of smoked porter with honey or something.
Mostly grapefruit in the nose although there was something else that neither Jo nor I could clearly identify. It was probably either roastiness or smoke, but the grapefruit was strong enough that it muddled everything else. Started hoppy followed by some slight dark fruit sweetness. Finished with roast and more grapefruit bitterness. Pretty complex with the dark fruit coming and going between the grapefruit, roast and hints of smoke. As I drank more, I felt like I noticed the smoke more but it could have been my mind thinking it should find smoke so it did. All in all, quite tasty and easy to drink. Thanks Matt!
After that I drank my first Troegs Mad Elf of the season. Hurray for winter seasonals! I don't care that it's November and like sixty degrees outside.
Still quite delicious!
