69. Atlantic Brewing Coal Porter


This is my third beer from Atlantic Brewing and the first that I would recommend. The other 2 are featured on my list of worst reviews but this is a quality porter. Complex flavor with some chocolate, coffee and lots of malt. Pours a great dark mahogany color with a slight head that stays with the beer and leaves a great lacing on the glass. Had this after dinner and was a great way to finish the evening. 
Pros: Color, complex flavors
Cons: 
Alcohol Content: 6.5% ABV
Calories: ???
IBU (Bitterness): ??

Rating: ★★
★☆☆
Brewers Website: Atlantic Brewing
Brewers Description: A superb porter, hearty & dark. This one is a staff favorite, made with pale, crystal, Munich, chocolate, and black malts. The darker malts give Coal its color and rich flavor. We use Target and Willamette hops to yield a very subtle hop flavor in this porter. 
We cellar this beer for close to six months before releasing it on the thirsty throngs of fans.
