Coffee Porter Bottling/First Taste

    On Thursday the Coffee Porter made it's way from the secondary fermenter into bottles.  Total yield was 657 ounces (5.13 gallons) divided amongst 26 x 12oz bottles and 15 x 23oz bottles. 

   OG: 1.061
   FG: 1.016
   ABV: 6.0%

I used light brown sugar as the priming sugar.

First taste:
The color is a dark brown almost the exact color of a pot of coffee. The immediate aroma that you get is of coffee followed by the subtle reminder than you are indeed holding a beer. The taste of the beer is very coffee-y.  There is definitely no doubt when you are drinking this that it is a coffee porter. The finish is less of coffee and more of the beer.

I am hoping that while in the bottle the coffee blends even more with the overall taste.  Right now the two flavors are a little distinct i.e. you taste coffee and then porter.  But it's definitely going to be a good one! 

 I'll crack open another bottle on the 26th, but my guess is this one is going to need an extra week (or 4) of conditioning.  Just in time for extreme beer fest!
