New Belgium Portage

New Belgium has made porters and stouts before, notably the limited edition salty chocolate stout that we had on Christmas, but not to my knowledge as a standard six-pack offering. Portage poured a deep, dark brown with a thick two-finger head. Chocolate and coffee notes predominate, with the roasted malts forming a nice base. Thick and creamy in consistency, they've done a great job creating an almost perfect porter. I will certainly revisit Portage this winter.
