New Belgium Portage

Colorado's New Belgium Brewery is one of those brewers who have never blown me away, but have also never made anything that i didn't like.  They are about as dependable a brewery as you're liable to get, and so, on that train of thought, the New Belgium Portage, a dark and smooth porter, is a pretty tasty beer that's as dependable a representation of a porter style as you're likely to taste.  The beer pours dark with a moderate tan head and smells of malts, chocolate, and vanilla.  The flavor is similar, but with some added nuttiness and some hints of coffee.  The Portage is simple and classic, a traditional porter with no added frills or exotic flavors.  It's really easy to drink too and makes a great chilly weather companion.

Visit the brewer.
