Damn tasty

Back in January, we brewed up a porter, added some strong brewed coffee, bottled the homebrew, and patiently waited. The day my Patrol arrived, we cracked the first of many Patrol Porters. And we have been very happy with this batch of homebrew.

The color is a nice brownish-black, with a head just the light side of tan. Flavor is smooth and crisp, with a malty sweetness and slight floral hop aroma at the start of the drink, and a good coffee bitter note on the finish. This was a fun beer to brew, with friends around for the brewing and bottling and drinking. Naturally, it’s even more fun to drink (especially in a frosted mug).

Ella liked it too:

The Patrol Porter recipe is going in the “yup we’ll be brewing this again” file. We’ve also recently opened a batch of oatmeal stout, plus a Newcastle brown ale clone. Undecided as of yet for what brew will celebrate the first anniversary of the Ural, but the Patrol Porter is a great, easy-drinkin’ batch of homebrew.
