All that remains of winter...
a 5.2% ABV 43 IBU - the height of Porter Mountain in the Adirondacks, one of the highest peaks.. let's see if this lives up to it's namesake. Great chocolate brown pour with roasty and chocolate malts off the nose.. faint coffee, English-style hops. It's mildly sweet and smooth, a nice mix of milk and bitter chocolate with some sweeter toffee and caramel. There's some faint smokey malts lingering towards the end. This is roasty and earthy.. not overly sweet as some Porters can tend to be, more true-to-it's-roots than most

Saranac - Chocolate Lager
6.0% ABV and 15 IBU Lager. Incredibly light.. this caught me off guard, more like a traditional Lager pour than you'd expect from anything with 'chocolate' in the name. Malty nose similar to a typical Lager with just hints of cacao and hops. Surprisingly crisp and slightly creamy, the lighter malts actually work well the hints of chocolate. A decent citrus hop profile towards the finish that balances out this brew.. unique, but they kept it simple. Very nice
