Last night was fun. I grouted my kitchen counter (project pics to come), listened to the Candy Show (my new name for last night's debate), and drank some of the President's Porter. Because I know you all follow this blog religiously, I know you remember when I posted about when the White House released the recipes, too!
Well, here's the porter! Doesn't it look pretty on that new counter?
It needs a few more days to carbonate I think, but it is REALLY good. It doesn't have the usual bitter aftertaste that most porters seem to have and isn't sickeningly sweet even with all that honey. It's also a gorgeous dark brown with red coming through with the light. I didn't filter this beer, and it's pretty opaque. Since it's still under-carbonated, there's not really any head to speak of, but what did appear was almost stark white in color.
I would definitely make this beer again, but I guess I need to make the honey ale first... And if Romney comes out with a good soda pop recipe, I'll try that, too.
