Nøgne Ø Porter

Nøgne Ø Porter
16.5°P, 30 IBU, 7% abv. Is today, 90°F, too hot for porter? Nonsense. Despite the obvious chocolate coffee malt aromas, this is surprisingly light, cooling, and smooth (though is it on the biggish side for a Porter?) Like a drinks version of whoppers/maltesers, without the sweetness. A bit of dried cherry and cocoa, but overall rather one-dimensional. Still, it's a dimension done well, and the 7% is invisible, making this a dangerously sessionable draught.
