Dundee Porter

One learns to expect certain things from a porter; one of those things is a dark, light-resistant hue. Dundee's porter is one of the lightest in color of any porter than I can recall. It's more along the lines of an altbier, or a dunkelwiezen, or even a red ale. But the aroma and taste that one would expect from a porter is present and accounted for. There's a mixture of coffee and vanilla that predominates, as well as a bit of chocolate and hazelnut. And, if I'm not imagining it, a ghost of a peanut butter taste as well. Overall a pretty fair porter that I would try again if the opportunity presented itself.
