High Country Legend Porter

Happy New Year from the Stout Man!

From the mountains of North Carolina comes High Country Legend Porter, a 6% alcohol dark ale from the brewing dynamos at Appalachian Mountain Brewery out of Boone. The beer, sold in 355mL cans, is an amber highlighted dark brown ale, pouring with a thin layer of cream head.

HCLP has a hefty malty aroma with a rich mocha feel. The flavour is malt-oriented, with coffee and chocolate notes up front, and a pleasantly robust hops finish.

This Boone brew is flavourful and rich, with agreeable malt oomph and a decently bitter back end. Strength-wise, it’s adequate. All told, a fine, serviceable porter.

Rating: 8.0 out of 10.
