Carnegie Porter (AB Pripps Bryggerier )

Having a Swedish background, I practically grew up on Pripps lighter beer, so when I saw this beer on the menu at Barney's Beanery I immediately had to try their take on the porter.

A fully black body with minimal head pours out of the bottle with a very malty sweet aroma emanating. Chocolate combined with a vague but terrible metallic taste initially dominate the flavor, which transitions into a mild coffee aftertaste with some hoppy bitterness. The texture is smooth and minorly creamy with medium-low carbonation. The beer is not very heavy, so drinkability is fairly high on this one.

An overall solid porter that could've done much better without that pesky metallic taste.

Final Grade - 7/10
