Florida Beer Company Gaspar’s Porter

Florida Beer Company Gaspar’s Porter has a good bit of cocoa and roast on the nose, maybe a faint bit of smoke in there as well. The taste follows the nose fairly well, with a big dose of chocolate and roast. The smokiness it a bit stronger in the taste and leads to a somewhat dry and astringent finish. Mouth-feel is a bit thin but that is forgivable.

There are certainly better porters on the market, but this is the kind of thing you might find on a less than stellar beer list in Florida. It is worth a try, not too shabby at all.
