Venn Raspberry Porter

Venn Batch #29 Raspberry Porter. Venn Brewing, Minneapolis, MN. 6.5% ABV, 20 IBU.

Dark brown body, nearly black, with crimson highlights. Brown ring of creamy foam on top. Looking great.

In the nose: Sweet and fruity with a twist of tart. Deep, dark malty notes lurk just below. Bright and delightful.

In the mouth: Fruit forward, bobbing just above the rich, malty flavors that dominate. Coffee and chocolate notes slightly submerged by the berry. Full bodied, full-flavored, and quite drinkable. I like this. Not too much of anything, well-balanced, well-blended, nicely done. In a word or seven: good beer and you can drink it.
