Sierra Nevada Porter

Sierra Nevada Porter
Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.
Chico, CA

I got out my stout porter owl glass for this one in anticipation of a stodgy boilermaker. It doesn't disappoint with chocolately coffee richness but then again it didn't exceed my expectations either. If you've read one of my stout-porter reviews you've basically read them all sans the various jargon and hyperbole bandied about. Then again I'll still rate this a hair beneath Pontiac Porter as I have all other porters due to the afforementioned's twang of spice which it exudes. Plus Sierra-Nevada is well-established and I'd rather support the local brewery with the better product.
