We picked up a six pack of Bell's Porter on a recent trip to Georgia. Bell's Brewery is located in Comstock, MI. I've seen their Oberon in South Florida so I know that they have a presence in the state but I've never come across their porter until now.

The first thing I noticed upon pouring was its rich, dark brown color and a light tan head. It has a malty aroma with some coffee mixed it.

Not too heavy or thick. Slightly sweet. Taste starts with a strong malt taste which transcends to smoky and then coffee. The coffee aftertaste is slightly bitter but not in a bad way. Very smooth. I would rate the carbonation as mild-plus, not quite medium. The 5.6% alcohol doesn't stand out much, if any.

Not an overpowering beer at all. Bell's Porter falls into the category of beers that you can drink all night. I'd definitely buy this one again and will start keeping an eye out for it in my travels.
