A wonderful aroma of coffee permeated the first sniff along with subtle hop flavors. The color was a medium-dark brown that featured a tan head that dissipated very quickly. It had flavors of roasted and burnt malts accentuated with a light hop bitterness. The roasted malts worked well with the light hop bittering and neither overwhelmed the other but instead balanced each other nicely. The body of this beer was a little lighter than usual, and the carbonation was also very low, however it is fine for this style. It had a nice smooth finish of roastiness in the aftertaste.

Number 22 Porter
Description
For most, the number 22 doesn't mean much. For us, the #22 train was our lifeblood. And for those who came out here to West Texas to stay, we created this dark ale, with a deep ruby color and dominant malt flavor. Brewed with caramel and chocolate malts and flavored with English hops, it represents the grit of the people out here.
