Beer of the Week

The beer: Hotbox Coffee Porter

Brewed by: Oskar Blues Brewery, Longmont, Colorado

Description (from the website): "This roasty, wake-up-call of a porter (6.5% ABV, 30 IBUs) is based on a robust malt bill that highlights chocolate, fig, plum and espresso flavors; led by nutty, drum-roasted CaraAroma malt. Then, Hotbox Roasters crashes the party and infuses potent, cold brew coffee from a blend of South American beans, roasted to reflect notes of chocolate, tobacco, wood and earthiness."

Would I buy it again?: No. You would think that a coffee porter would be a memorable sort of beer, but this was surprisingly forgettable. It was heavy, I mean, duh, but not a whole lot of actual taste. The thickness was really all this beer had, making it pretty one-dimensional.
