Atwater Block Shaman's Porter
Atwater Block Brewing Co.
Detroit, MI

Early morning Sunday au jou. Syrupy and sappy fruit in this thin lacquer(prononuced lacker and not lick-coor). I'm reminded here of Anchor's Happy New Year and that's mostly good except that this a porter and that is a festive seasonal beer. Porters should have a shaman's powers of transport and mutability so that the spirit changes temporarily into something favorable and fantastic before returning to its natural state. Good, but so what? I want great and this leaves me still wanting.
