Kona Pipeline Porter


This is the first of three porters we will be exploring, because I love porters, and drinking. Kona Brewing is of course, a Hawaiian brewery. Pipeline Porter pours out a nice dark brown. The nose has crisp mocha scents, a bit more chocolate than coffee. The flavor is a nice mocha with a lingering black coffee finish. There's enough hop here to give that crispness, but otherwise it disappears. This is a really nice beer if you like your coffee black, like your men. Pipeline would also be a great dessert beer with sweet stuff. It could use some more alcohol, but what couldn't. It might be good with chocolate, don't mind if I do. Yes it is. A good start to a trio of porters.
