Boulder Shake Chocolate Porter


CHOCOHOLICS REJOICE! This might have the most chocolate flavor I've tasted in a beer. When I smell it, I smell 80% chocolate and a hint of beer on the back end. It drinks so smooth, like a thin milkshake. It's a dark porter (like a good porter should be) and very little light passes through it's chocolatey goodness. Since it only measures 5.9 on the Drinkenscale, which is generally low for a porter, you can sit and sip on these all day long. It's heavy though, and I can't imagine drinking more than one in an hour or you'd start feeling too full. The IBU rating of 39 comes from the bitterness of the chocolate more than the bitterness of the beer. This is a chocolate lover's drink first, and a beer lover's drink second. If you happen to be both then you're in for a pleasant surprise.
