Waldmann German Porter.
5.5 % ABV, Waldmann Brewing, St. Paul, MN.
What? German Porter? There's no such thing! You gotta be kidding me....but, if they say so, I mean, who knows, right? Let's give it a whirl.
Dark brown, nearly black, with full opacity, and small, short-lived brown head.
In the nose: Bittersweet. Caramel and cocoa. Expresso notes, too. Mostly malty.
In the mouth: Chocolate and coffee hit the palate first. Small dose of bitterness, there for balance. Malt rises up to take over. Medium bodied, slightly sweet, but ending dry and earthy. Smooth stuff, easy drinking, fairly delightful.
A “GERMANIFIED” VERSION OF A LONDON PORTER BREWED PRIMARILY IN EAST GERMANY UNTIL VIRTUALLY DISAPPEARING AFTER REUNIFICATION. OUR GERMAN PORTER IS MADE WITH ENGLISH MARIS OTTER MALTS, GERMAN NOBLE-AROMATIC HOPS AND A CLASSIC GERMAN ALE YEAST FOR AN INTERESTING COMBINATION OF BRITISH-ALE COMPLEXITY AND GERMAN MELLOWED DRINKABILITY.
