Yuengling Porter

Brewed expressly for tavern and family trade. That is what the label says. Whatever, I just want it to pour effortlessly into my mouth. Nice dark color, Nice creamy tan head that holds its own. This is not the Porter from Hell or anything, it is just simply the good quality, well made, good tasting porter that has its betters to be sure. It is certainly no slouch in the flavor department with its smoky beginning leading into the Caramel, chocolate happiness that I love about porter. So often, brewers try to put so much power into a porter that it loses the simple workingman qualities that porter in its most true form possesses. I like it this way. If you like porter but find this to be too strong, give the Yuengling Black and Tan a good try. It is porter light.

4.5 out of 5 points. Mmmmmm, even good on a Ritz.
