Coppertail Brewing Seasonal Relief

Coppertail Brewing Seasonal Relief is a Baltic Porter brewed with Goji Berries and Elderberries, 8.5% ABV. The bottle says this winter seasonal pairs perfectly with fruit cake and embittered relatives.

Pours with an appropriately dark brown color with a nice tan head to start. The head fades to a small ring around the top of the glass. The aroma is sweet and roasty with notes of cola, dark fruits, and peanut butter and chocolate. On the taste is a bit more of a smokey malt and that cola flavor. I am realizing this cola flavor/smell is most certainly coming from the goji and elderberries. The finish is sweet and chocolatey with a touch of hop bitterness. A bit thin on the mouth-feel overall, but I am enjoying the flavor profile of this Baltic Porter.

Another really tasty beer from Coppertail Brewing, I am going to have to make a visit to this place the next time I’m in Tampa.
