the gloaming?

Something creepy?  Something dark?  Something tasty?  A porter from La Pirata could hit all three of those!  The label for Deep Inside porter has a pretty stern looking wolf in a dusky looking woods, so certainly appropriate for the season.  Actually, now that I look at it, the pink sky is a little more sunrise-y than sunset-y, but maybe there was a volcanic eruption somewhere that affected the colors.

Can't get much head out of it, but it has a nice color.  The nutty, smoky aroma is also just what I'm looking for.  The flavor bounces back and forth between bitter and nutty, finally leaving a hint of licorice.  The beer itself isn't very heavy, but the wealth of flavors make it seem thicker than it is.  I get a little bit building up and hanging around on the back of the tongue.  It's not too distracting, although it develops an odd sourness.  In the end it calms down to a mild bitter, still easy to suck down, not sticky even with that little aftertaste.  It's better than a lot of Halloween candy, I'll say that much.
