Beer of the Week: Sea Dog Riverdriver Hazelnut Porter

Beer score: 6.2

Company: Sea Dog Brewing Co.
ABV: 5.6
IBU: NA

This one pours a dark reddish color while giving off aromas of hazelnut and coffee, perhaps with a little sweetness.

Has a very strong coffee and hazelnut taste with just a tad bit of maple included. Tastes like burnt caramel popcorn to me. Frothy and very thick for a porter, almost stout level.

Too bitter, in my opinion, and would score higher if the bitterness were a little more under control.

Definitely not a beer for beginning drinkers.
