We might as well start the blog off with the beer pictured in the post just prior, The Walker's Reserve Porter, from one of my favorite breweries, Firestone Walker out of vineyard country in California.

The Porter poured a dark brown that faded into black as the glass went inward. The head was a large three finger tan foamy one. The porter gave off a bitter chocolate chip cookies dipped in coffee smell that mirrored the taste, with an oak malt lingering aftertaste.
Though I love the complex flavors in Parabola and Abacus I must say this porter did seem a bit mediocre. This does not mean I didn't enjoy the two glasses of the porter, quite the opposite, but there is a reason why this is not one of their limited releases.
