   Caramel Porter poured a dark brown color with a finger width tan head.  The aroma had a light roasted character, sweet malt, toffee, and caramel.  The body's carbonation is light and the texture is syrupy with a sweetness throughout and very noticeable caramel flavoring up front.  The finish is subdued with a light sweetness lingering.  Overall this beer is just ok.  This is a sweet porter with the caramel nose offering promise that the body fails to deliver on.  There is a nice twinge of flavor in the middle but the beer just falls flat in to many areas.     

The ultimate resource for beer drinkers!
