Moonlight Porter

 Moonlight Porter is billed as an American porter and, at 6.3% and 50 IBUs, it certainly has the requisite audacity for the style. The beer, from Ottawa’s Waller St. Brewing, comes in 500mL bottles. It’s a dark brown ale with amber highlights, under a fluffy tan cloud.

MP has a slightly sweet, malty aroma with a subtle nod toward coffee bitterness. The flavour flips those roles, with sweet roasted malt qualities an accent to a robust, bitter brew. The beer has coffee elements and a charge of pine.

A well-executed American porter is a thing of beauty and Midnight Porter rings that bell. It’s a rich, balanced brew that delivers a satisfyingly bitter finish.

Rating: 9.0 out of 10.
