Fans of Kettlehouse Brewing Co. in Missoula know they like to have fun with their beer and tend to create some exceptional seasonal brews. The streak continues with their new Poshed Porter, a moderately robust oatmeal porter brewed with cacao nibs from Missoula’s Posh Chocolat. It is a fantastic blend of two of Missoula’s best.

This porter is very dark brown to black, with a light tan head.  There are aromas of milk chocolate and roasted malt. The flavors follow the aroma with nice roasted malts and lots of chocolate, trending about half-way between milk and dark chocolate. The oatmeal lends a nice smoothness to the medium body (6.5% abv).  It is very nicely balanced and avoids being sweet.  It has a dry finish with some flavors of roasted coffee. What’s better than wrapping up chocolate, porter, and coffee into one package?
