Hammerheart Thor's Porter, Hot Pepper Porter, 9.5% ABV. 750 ml growler.
Another of Hammerheart's beers named for Norse mythology, this one after the lord of lightning and thunder, the hammer man himself, Thor Odinson.
Appearance: dark as darkness itself, with a strong, creamy head as rich as richness, brown and cocoa-toned, looking great.
Aroma: dark and rich make a return appearance in the nose, deep chocolate and intense espresso. Pepper's playing it cool, so far, it seems.
Taste: Once on the palate, this one starts blazing. Hot and getting hotter. Pepper heat rises up, lighting up the tongue, spreading like wildfire. But it's, shall we say, a controlled blaze. Full-bodied, long malty finish. Warming. But not harsh. I can't believe it's nearly 10%. Really nice, this one, not too anything, just right. Not punishing, just very full, malty, rich and peppery. Like it a lot.
