Our Tastes-- Saranac Caramel Porter
NOT in the sampler, but the Caramel Porter, (introed to AL at the Magic City Brewfest) is a huge limited release using Dark Caramel Malt along with Fuggles and East Kent Goldings. The aroma is pure caramel stickiness which hides the BIG hops used. At first taste it is a little overwhelming but there is a draw that keeps me buying, maybe it's the newness? 5.4%abv makes you think that "just cooked sugar" couldn't be better. One more Nacker to go but the Melon will have to bring that one with her, because most of them she drinks@!
