Year of New Beer: Caramel and Sea Salt Porter, Country Boy Brewing (Lexington)

Written By: Dion on 02/08/2017

Fairly subtle nose offers up hints of chocolate and caramel sugars, probably a touch cold to really allow the aroma to shine. On the tongue, however, layers of flavor develop as the glass warms. Bittersweet chocolate leads with cursory notes of dark fruit before giving way to a sweet and creamy caramel that really starts to blossom with warmth. Very light but effective saltiness serves to balance this extremely well. Nicely done.
