After two weeks in the bottle, I'm happy with how the Morris Park Porter has turned out. This was my first attempt at a porter, and I've been happy with the results. My wife Kristen, not normally a dark beer fan, also really like it, so that's a good sign.
It pours a dark brown, almost black with a thin tan head (at this point). It has a very smooth, sweet flavor at first, which is followed by a nice coffee-roasty flavor. I think it'll mature nicely.
For the homebrewers, it's an extract recipe, it's 100% organic:
1 lb Chocolate Malt
.75 lb Crystal 120
3 lbs light malt extract
1 lb light malt extract (added at 15 min)
1 oz organic admiral hops 60 min
1 oz organic admiral hops 1 min
1056 Wyeast American Ale
Next post I'll have some thoughts on my cranberry wheat and my Bangy Tangy.
* Update, after a full three weeks in the bottle, this is one of the best beers I've made. It's super silky smooth with a sweet chocolately flavor that finishes with a nice roasty-coffee-bitterness. I already want to brew this beer again.
