The Establishment Brewing Company Wandering Star – American Porter at 5.8% ABV (C$4.50 at Safeway Liquor D’Arcy Crossing, 473 ml, packaged on 15-Nov-2023, acquired 23-Jan-2024, reviewed 29-Jan-2024)
Appearance: clear cola brown with one finger of loose beige head diminishing gradually to a thin skim, spotty lacing. (3/5) Aroma: dark chocolate, coffee, toasted bread, caramel, floral, earth. (8/10) Taste: moderate-high sweet, moderate-high bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, slightly sticky lingering bitter finish. (3/5)
The hell? It’s just a name change? Lame. What happened, they get hate mail from Fat Sherpas? Anyway, my opinion on this hasn’t changed: it’s fine. Which, for this brewery, is damnation with faint praise. (14/20)
This will apparently not be a unique Untappd check-in.
