Name – Yuengling Porter
Country – United States
Type – American Porter

Appearance – Pours a very dark brown color with a nice sized light brown head that does stick around a bit a leave some lacing on the glass.

Smell – Roasted and chocolate malts up front.  There is a slight bit of coffee smell in the back as well.

Taste – Again we find the roast and chocolate malts but there is a nice sweetness to it as well.  A little bit of nuttiness in there as followed by some coffee and this is a really nice taste.

We I visited the original Yuengling brewery a few years back I sampled this in the sample room and loved it.  Unfortunately it was no where to be found in South Florida.  We could only get the Lager, Light Lager and Black & Tan in stores here despite their major brewery in Tampa.  We on our trip up to Tampa I was thrilled to see six packs of Porter and jumped on it.  Now that I have brought it back I am now seeing Porter and Lord Chesterfield Ale hitting shelves down here as well.  While it is still worth it that I picked this up in Tampa I am so happy to see we are finally getting other stuff from America’s Oldest Brewery.  This is my favorite of their brews.

Overall Grade – A
