Sea Dog Riverdriver Hazelnut Porter
Sigh…
I was really hoping to be able to write an overly positive review about something. I typically love the nutty, toffee flavors a lot of porters pack, so I figured this Sea Dog might fit the bill.
The porter is dark, but seems much less viscous than I expected and hoped – black food coloring in water. The head is colored a pleasant, creamy cafe-au-lait, but is just a little too threadbare to be effective. The smell is light of hazelnut and sweet, dark malt and heavy of stale, smoked-out coffee. Unfortunately, all I can say about the flavor is that it tastes a lot like I imagine hazelnut toothpaste for dogs might taste.
