liquid candy

Yep, almost Halloween, so something chocolatey sounds good about now.  The interesting bottle is also a point in this beer's favor when you're looking at the wall of brews.

It pours out with a satisfying glick-glick and has a surprisingly light color for a chocolate porter; brown without a doubt, but the stream isn't quite opaque and has a reddish tint to it.  The smell might also throw you off, since it's just that typical sharp porter smell, but the taste...ah, wonder.  Not bitter or sour at all, definitely chocolatey.  Starting out so sweet made me suspect it might get overwhelming as it warmed up, but the taste remained light and just sweet enough for the whole glass.

Just a little rusty at the bottom

Although it might go well with a dessert, something not too sticky sweet or heavy, I find Meantime Chocolate Porter a delight unaccompanied.
