Description:
In the 14th Century, Sailors would rely on sheer skill to get from a starting point to a final destination. They called this Dead Reckoning. We see our beer the same way. We know where to begin and know where to go, but there are hundreds of ways to get there.
Dead Reckoning is unfiltered and weighs in at 5.8% abv and 53 IBU’s. It features Pilsner, Caramel, Chocolate and Roasted malts along with Chinook and Vanguard hops. “The outstanding taste and flavor of Dead Reckoning originates in the chocolate and roasted malts,” says John Trogner. "There is a nice hoppiness in the front of the beer, but the rich, smooth mouth feel is what really stands out."

Appearance - 4.5
Got this in a growler at the brewery. Pours 2 fingers of creamy tan head that has excellent retention and leaves globs of lacing. The brew is a very dark brown, almost black, with ruby highlights.
Aroma - 4.5
Roasted malts, nuts, chocolate, coffee and hops. Has a sweet smelling aroma.
Mouthfeel - 4.0
A medium-bodied beer that has a smooth creamy feeling to it. A lower amount of carbonation which serves this beer right.
Taste - 4.0
Roasted malts hit first followed by some sweeter caramel malts with some chocolate thrown in for good measure. Finishes with some slightly bitter hops, but overall very well balanced. Has a decent smoky taste to it throughout.
Overall - 4.0
One of my favorite porters hands down. It's a hoppy porter with lots of great flavors. Definitely recommend trying this one.
