Port Brewing Santa's Little Helper

Alrighty, I was honest kind of scared to try this brew. It's Christmasy so I immediately thought it was going to have a weird flavor like peppermint or something. Boy was I wrong. This is another great beer from Port Brewing Co. First of all at 10% abv this os a stronger drink than a lot of other beers, but you can't taste the alcohol at all. It pours out a deep black color with a light brown to tan head. That alone should give you an idea of the flavor to expect. The aroma is very dessert. It smells like dark chocolate with cocoa and hops. It smelled really appetizing. The flavor is totally out of this world. It's got a very complicated taste to it. it ranges from dark chocolate to fudge to slight cinnamon to cappuccino. This is all backed up by the consistency. It creamy which is weird for sure, but totally compliments the flavor. This hit me a very Midnight Sessions but skewed more towards the chocolate; Midnight Session is more coffee than chocolate. Try out this brew when you can, especially if you want something desserty.
