WarPigs Forge of Mars Intergalactic Porter

WarPigs Forge of Mars Intergalactic Porter. Ale with Coffee and Vanilla.


6.8 % ABV, 25 IBU. Brewed and packaged under supervision of Warpigs Brewing USA, LLC, Munster, IN. 

Deep black color, thoroughly opaque, large, if brief, brown head. 

It he nose: Coffee is here in abundance, with cocoa behind and vanilla sneaking in at the end. Earthy, nutty.

In the mouth: Coffee flavor is in command of the palate, with berries and nuts doing a cameo on the side, vanilla pops in to add a dash of sweetness. Medium bodied, smooth and drinkable. Some commenters have said that the coffee flavor feels "stale", and while I'm not sure I agree, I can certainly see what they're talking about. It lacks freshness, and the flavor falls off the palate far too soon.

This one has is good points, but not enough of them. Simply an average coffee porter, at best. Far from my favorite. 

Powered by solar flares and stoked by grim artisans, martian smiths craft the finest wares for exploring the Milky Way and beyond. Infused with coffee and vanilla.
