Year of New Beer: Pikeville Porter, Alltech Brewing & Distilling (Lexington)

Written By: Dion on 11/08/2014

The winner of Alltech's Homebrew Competition held during Lexington Craft Beer Week back in May, this porter features a solid roasted coffee bean aroma, with lesser elements of cocoa powder and earthy hops. On the tongue, the coffee really shines as the chocolate hits mid-palate, while hints of smoke and light tobacco linger on the finish. A pretty solid example of the style, and one that would bolster the Alltech portfolio if it were a regular offering.
