Bros Beer Night Out - Porter Beer Bar in L5P Part 2

Round 2 for me and round 3 for Corby. He'll post about his experience with the Allagash Curieux. It is  triple aged in Jim Beam barrels.  'Nuff said

My 2nd round was Breury Tradewinds Tripel from California. All I can say is that of the ones we tasted tonight it is my favorite. Tradewinds is made with rice in place of candy sugar and some Thai basil was added for spice. Not to dry and very smooth texture. Slight hop and with minimal malt overtones. With an 8% abv it goes down way too easy. One of the most exotic beers on PBB's list but I must say that C and W like very much.

We also tasted the Bosteels Tripel Karmeliet which was very light, and had a strong fruity/flowery aroma (pear and cloves).  We both felt it lacked a any hop aroma or flavor. However, it was really light, dry, and clean after taste. With a 9% abv and because it is a high fruit aroma/flavor beer, it is going to sneak up on some folks.

Bros Beer Night - Porter Beer Bar L5P

Corby and William are out at one of America's top 100 beer bars: Atlanta's own Porter Beer Bar in Little 5 Points. With 30 craft beers on tap you got every style and flavor to try to your hearts content. You can also sample the drafts to find the right one for you.

Tonight we sampled a Nongne Two Captains from Norway, Van Steenberge Gulden Draak from Belgium, Left Hand Twin Sisters from Colorado, Left Hand Week Sauce from Colorado and an Alagash Curieux from Maine. Big shout out to Joe And Justin for taking care of us tonight.

We both picked the Two Captains (below) to start with. Awesome color and great aroma. You can smell the grapefruit, cherry, brown sugar and a slight hint pine. Excellent over the tongue. I like the slightly sweet aftertaste while Corby enjoyed the bitter finish. It was all good going down with an 8.5% abv.
