I felt like I should sneak some dark beers into my list. While I almost exclusively drink Pale Ales or IPAs, I still love a nice roasty dark beer on occasion. When I started drinking craft beer it was almost exclusively stouts. I think this is a common starting point for most people. A noob can appreciate that beer can be associated with coffee and chocolate, yum, instead of skunky hops, yuck! Then as I tried different beers and expanded my brewing I grew an appreciation for hops. So I come back to this beer from time to time because it was one that I liked in the early years of my beer journey. Revisiting the Cutthroat Porter now I find it to be quite sour, but I am known to be sensitive to sour flavors in beers. When I brew a porter or stout I like a lot of roasted malt. So while I will always have fond memories of this beer, and you have to admit the logo is awesome, I don't pick up a six-pack all that often.I love beer! And not just the euphoric warmth that follows a couple of great pints, but everything about it. I'm adding to my beer obsession by journaling my brewing, beer tastings and beer journeys. Cheers!!
