Beer of the Week Blast from the Past: Blue Ridge Porter

Beer score: 7.7

No chance to try a beer this week, but I have notes from this brew which is no longer with us.

And it's a shame this one is no longer with us.

It had a decent amount of bitterness with a fairly strong coffee and burnt caramel flavor. Fairly light for a porter with a creamy texture.

It was a "chocolate" beer, which didn't mean it contained real chocolate, but is a dark brew that often has a coffee taste.

This one was originally brewed by the Frederick Crewing Co. in Maryland, then later they were bought out by the Flying Dog brewing folks, and eventually this beer ended up with the Wild Goose Brewery. Either way, this one's no longer available.
