Sam Adams Dark Depths Baltic Porter IPA

Beer #1 of the Hopology 12 pack (actually Beer #3 since I've previously done reviews on Latitude 48 and Whitewater.)

It poured a deep mahogany, not as dark as I thought it would be, but with a rich, tall, chocolate colored head. Lots of coffee and chocolate, almost like a coffee ice cream...with hops! The citrussy hop flavors are struggling to assert themselves, but are battling the malty sweetness of the chocolate and coffee. Quite a treat for those (like myself) who enjoy hoppy beers, but are deep down, porter/stout guys. Cool label too.
