It's a back to back undertaking with another of our darker brews-porter. They tend to be sweetish, dark in color with the aroma of roasted malt. Two American examples will be explored today: Samuel Adams Holiday vs. Saranac Carmel. Now on with the festivities:
Sam Adams Holiday: Color-brown/ red hue Nose-clean First taste-strong Fizziness-slight head Origin? Boston, Mass. Observations-hard, back throat Aftertaste-Slight smoothness Cost-$1.00 per 12oz. Rating-7.0
Saranac Caramel Color: Color-brown/ orange tinge Nose-toffee First taste-sweet Fizziness-slight head Origin? Utica, NY Observations-Full mouth sweetness Aftertaste-Too sweet by my standards Cost-96cents per 12 oz. Rating-6.0
FINAL THOUGHTS-Sam Adams Holiday was a good example of a porter I liked while the Saranac Porters' sweetness was not as appealing to me!!!
