Seems to me like the best beer to follow up a coffee porter would be another coffee porter! Actually that thought didn't cross my mind at all, which means I've started this post off with a terrible lie. Hopefully that will be the only one.
BBC's Coffeehouse Porter is a dark beer with ruby highlights. Apparently the amount of head on a beer is highly variable, because both of my pints had a huge head on them (think like 1 inch plus), but I have read other reviews where people said that their beers had barely any head. Well, tough cookies to them. This beer had a boatload of it, and it slowly faded leaving a ton of lacing behind. As expected, the aroma was mostly coffee with a little bit of creamy malt.
Now this is what I'm talking about! That beer had a perfect amount of coffee flavor with a nice mellow taste. There was a tiny bit of hops at the finish, but overall the whole thing was very smooth. There's also a little bit of chocolate in it as well. The beer has mild carbonation and a clean finish without aftertaste.
Final thought - This beer is great. Any fan of dark beers needs to give this one a try. Even non-fans should probably drink it. You can't go wrong!
