MacTarnahan's Blackwatch Cream Porter




Its got a light body, poors dark with a white head. Very dry, not sweet at all. It coats the tongue in a near Guiness type film, almost milky. Its missing some of the roast malt flavors I associate with some of the better porters, but has a hint of toasted grain. Hops seem there, but nothing really seems to stand out from this beer. It isn't as chalky as some so is more drinkable. More than a couple of glasses is possible. My choices for the night were Redhook ESB, Alaskan Amber, and Guiness Stout.
