Brewery: Mad River
Location: Blue Lake, CA
Style: Scotch Porter

Not quite sure how I missed reviewing this during PorterFest ‘08-’09, but here it is now. Mad River Scotch Style Porter is a fine porter – not remarkable but certainly good.

It pours nicely. Dark black color and a head that quickly falls.it has a creamy feel with nice tones of smokey coffee. There is a very subtle sweetness that makes this a great winter porter. It went nicely with some snow-b-qued burgers we had recently. 6.7% ABV is not going to get you flying very fast (sometimes a good thing) allowing you the chance to indulge in a few of this utility porter.
