Bowled Over!
The label art of this week's beer suits a comic-booker, with a look of some super hero-inspired swill that is eye-catching, to say the least. The name suits as uneventful night—like a night in, playing wii bowling...probably alone. The taste? The taste is something to remember...
WEEK 20:
Ten Pin Porter
The folks at Ska Brewing Company have created something special with their Ten Pin Porter. The aroma is decidedly malty, with a hint of caramel and a chocolaty molasses that is detectable in the freshly uncapped vapors snaking from the bottle. To take a good whiff of this one is almost as flavorful as an actual taste. Almost.
This one is a dark porter—black as night—with a lot of malty flavor. Just the same, it goes down smoothly and easily, with a bitter aftertaste that is very, very welcome. While this beer—or any porter for that matter—will dry your mouth out after more than a few bottles, it's not likely to happen prematurely (even with a healthy 5.5% abc) and when it does, you won't care much about it anyway. All in all, it's packaged like a boyhood fantasy, but this robust porter is brewed for a man's man who enjoys his malted barely, thus earning the Hans "Goatman" Stamp of Approval. That means Ten Pin Porter comes highly recommended, my friends. Highly recommended indeed.
