Okay, well this Justin, at Beer Table in Brooklyn, standing next to an outstanding porter he's pouring there this week, brewed by Pripps-Carlsberg Sverige Carnegie Porter Carnegie Porter. Justin worked as a distributor for several years, and now maintains a nice small space in the Prospect Park area of Bklyn along 7th Avenue (not far from the F Train for you Public transporters).
Beer Table is a really nice small space where you can get real beer in Brooklyn. So a nod is as good as a wink to a blinded bat, yes?
Very dark porter, with an average head that did not stick around for the photo shoot next to the electric table lantern, but then this beer just sneaks up on you like basing jumping, Airborne Ranger delivering the flowers you forgot for your best girl as you're walking up to her building, with its mildly sweet, malty and perfectly balanced slight hopped aroma, and a thick mouth feel, like that of a stout. In fact, I'd bet a case that most people would identify it as a stout, if they were not told it's labeled a porter. My first reaction right down to the last drop was that "this beer is perfect", so there's that. Although, the second one tasted more sweet to me, after pairings with some of the excellent olives Beer Table serves.
