Port Brewing Board Meeting Brown Ale
Port Brewing beers are typically boldly-flavored American and hop-forward West Coast style ales or lagers, and Board Meeting Brown Ale is no exception. An amplified brown ale, the beer is brewed with liberal additions of coffee from local San Diego roasters, Ryan Brothers, and cocoa nibs sourced from famed San Francisco chocolate maker TCHO. Alcohol by volume is 8.5%.
“Board Meeting offers the malty richness and assertive hop presence that you expect in an American brown ale, but enhanced with pronounced roasted coffee and bitter chocolate aromas and flavors,” Arthur said. “I think people will enjoy this beer by itself and at the table paired with meat dishes like pork, roasts and barbeque. I imagine it’d be pretty good washing down a sausage omelet at breakfast too.”

Közepes, tartós, világosbarna hab, sötétbarna szín. Kakaós, kávés, aszalt gyümölcsös illat. Kávés, kakaós, csokis ízek, némi sötétgyümölcsös aromával és karamelles beütéssel, valamint egy kis fűszeres vonással. Közepesen testes, enyhén szénsavas, közepesen keserű. Finom barnasör.
On tap at Brewdog Brighton. Black beer lasting tan head. Coffee coffee coffee on aroma. Good coffee aroma. Amazing coffee in mouth smooth and juicy like drinking cold coffee liqueur. Lovely. For some reason it was decanted which list some of the carbonation . But still the coffee was impressive and we'll integrated.
Thin dense brown head of very fine bubbles. Intense coffee and roasted grain aroma with some bittersweet chocolate and burnt toast. Color is a very dark brown. More dark roasted grains in the flavor, with a good helping of dark roast coffee but not overpowering. Some more burnt toast and mild bitterness. Slightly chalky and dry mouthfeel with a noticeable alcohol presence and warming. Lingering bitter dark chocolate and ash. A pretty good brown ale that has a good balance with the coffee component.
Tap at BrewDog Manchester. Dark brown with small ring of head. Toasty, malt loaf, nutty, hints of chocolate. Not massively sweet with some faint hops. Decent.

Draft @ Beavertown Extravaganza'17.
Brune, col beige.
Arôme offre de fines effluves de café, grains concassés, rétro reste centré sur un effet grillé ponctué par des effluves modérées de houblons, classiques - c-hops,
Palais est malté, grillé, caramel, café douceur reste moyenne avec un profil et caractère malté clairement US ponctué par une fine pointe de chocolaté.
Petite amertume de fin de bouche qui contrebalance l'apport des malts.

Keg, BD Shepherds Bush. A really big beer. Huge molasses and coffee aroma. Pours hell black, big tan head. This is like a massively boozy after dinner coffee, with dark fruits in the back. Huge flavours. Awesome.
Keg at BrewDog, Shepherds Bush, London in Aug 2017 - Very dark brown in colour. Small tan head. Big coffee aroma. Very Malty; roast coffee, lots of coffee, chocolate, roasty malts, caramel, nuts. Hoppy; moderate hop bitterness. Sweet-bitter roast coffee malty throughout. Drying finish. Liked it. Tasty. Truly, an Imperial Brown Ale. (2017-08)
Delicious light coffee, chocolate and sweet malt aroma, deep coffee and chocolate taste, with a touch of spice and bitter hop on the finish, brilliantly drinkable, delicious.
Kwg at Brewdog Camden. A deep nut brown coloured pour with a a lasting light tan head. Aroma is really earthy nutty, wood, bark, maple, cocoa. Flavour is composed of semi sweet nutty brown malts, milk, choc, smooth woody roast, peanut butter, hint of smoke in the finish. Palate is medium sweet, frothy east carbonation. Slightly creamy. Nice malt depth. Lingering coconut.
Draft. Pours deep brown with a beige head. Rich roasted malts and coffee adjuncts, mild toasted notes, a little chocolate sweetness, and a balanced finish. Good stuff.
Pours a very dark brown with a coca head. Aroma is loads and loads of chocolate. Flavour is very bitter coffee, chocolate and milk. Great brown ale.
Pitch black, small brown head. Very earthy, lots of coffee, some raw coffee, dark chocolate, cocoa and roasted malt. Taste is bitter and sweet, cocoa, earth, dark chocolate, wonderful bitter cocoa finish. Medim body, soft carbonation.
Above average brown. Good after taste that doesn't feel like you've just eaten a sandwich. Adding into rotation for beer tasting's.

Zaskoczył mnie solidny gushing przy otwieraniu, przez co zbudowała się sroga piana, za to drobna i dość trwała, barwa brązowa, wydaje się lekko mętna. W zapachu zero oznak infekcji, za to dominuje przyjemna, świeżo palona kawa na tle nut toffi i karmelu. W smaku dość słodkie, kawowe, na finiszu lekko kwaskowe w kawowy sposób, do tego czekolada i kakao, wspomniany już karmel i krówki. Goryczka niezbyt duża, palona. Wysycenie średnie do niskiego (możliwe że odgazowało się podczas długiego otwierania), lekko szorstkie, popiołowe i wyklejające w odbiorze.
Takie coś na pograniczu Brown Ale, Scotch Ale, Old Ale, English i American Strong Ale - w sumie trudno jednoznacznie stwierdzić, dodatek zaś kawy i kakao jeszcze bardziej komplikuje sprawę w postaci nutek FESowo porterowych. Samo piwo średnio pijalne, może nie jest gęste, ale treściwe, nieco mulące na dłuższą metę.
Bottle a dark brown colored beer with a white head aroma malts fruits dark fruits citrus yeast spicy and hops flavor malts fruits dark fruits spicy citrus fruits and hops
Dark brown/black with light brown head. aroma is coffee and malt. Not really sweet for such a high gravity beer. The hop "forwardness" is really more of a balance to the malt rather than an aggressive hop presence. I like that it is not overly bitter nor does it cover up the darker malt nuances with a hop braggadocious character. I still much prefer the London style Brown Ale, but this is not bad by any means.
Bottle from BevMo. Nice coffee aroma. Coffee chocolate taste with toasty malty notes. Medium bitterness. Very good.
More leathery brown ale style with minimal head, muted chocolate aroma and taste. Livelier carbonation than you would get in a stout.
Dark chestnut brown pour with aroma of coffee, chocolate, and roasted malt. Heavy coffee flavor with some roasted malt, and bitter chocolate. Good beer.
Nearly black pour with a tan head. The aroma is malty with dark chocolate and mild coffee. It has a medium body with slightly sticky texture and average carbonation. The taste roasted and dry.
2016-10-07 Sample from bottle @ Stockholm Beer & Whisky Festival. Taste of caramel, toast bread and fudge. Very balanced.
66cl bottle. Color is dark red brown black. Head is thin persistent and brown. Smooth body. Medium body and medium carbonation. Light sweetness, medium bitterness. Aroma is chocolate, coffee, vanilla, roasted, liquorice, spicy.
