There's just something about darker beers that works and tastes so wonderful during the colder months of the year. Much like i seem to overdose on IPA's in the springtime, i found myself imbibing mass quantities of porters and stouts in the winter. A recent highlight was the Founders Porter from
Founders Brewing in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The beer is a thick and oily black with a tan head and aromas of roasted malts, nuts, and some hints of coffee and caramel. The taste is a little sweet on the front end, a combination of molasses and notes of cocoa, but then gets more bitter and biting on the back end when the roastiness really kicks in. And it's oh so smooth. All in all, this is a fantastic porter.
