With our RCE beers shared, I was lucky enough to get some of Ed's Porter. I should have had this by now but I have so much beer and have to watch my gut.
Tonite was the night but I forgot to take a picture.
But, it was an excellent beer! It poured with a 1/2 finger head, nice and dark and smelled of light chocolate, vanilla and I almost noticed a tiny bit of cinnamon. Yum!

The taste was definitely porter. I had notes of chocolate and toasted malt with some very mild roasty notes. It ended semi-sweet. This is a very, very fine Porter. I have to make some because I like dark beers.
OK, when a beer is good, I try to find something I can knock because I'm OCD. For me, this might have been slightly over carbed. But I do like my dark beers lightly carbed.

Thanks for sharing this with me. After a hard week at work, then coming home and doing the gym thing (I have no life) I walked in the door and went to the fridge and grabbed this and am very happy I did.

Sounds real good!

Yes just by the description it would make me want to have one right now. If Beerlord likes it I would guess it's an excellent beer.
Good job Ed

It makes me want to brew one. Its on my radar.

Thanks Paul, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Did you perceive any coffee flavor/aroma? I am, but maybe I am mistaking the chocolate for coffee. This is one of the beers I submitted to the Brewfest Competition in Manheim/PA RenFaire for next weekend. I hope it is as well liked by the judges as your expert opinion. Everyone that has tried it has thought it well done and to style. I will post the recipe when I get a chance, at work now. I am going to do a Milk Stout next.

Normally I let the beer warm up a bit but I was impatient and drank it pretty fast. I only got the slightest of coffee out of it but I'm thinking that is more noticeable as it warms.
And, I am in no way an expert at anything except enjoying beers nice folks send me.
Best of luck on the competition as well as the Milk Stout!
