Alan from 'A Good Beer Blog' and Greg from 'Beer,Beats,Bites' have already beat me to profiling this beer, but hey, I want in on the fun too.
Black Irish Plain Porter, a new offering from Perry Mason at Scotch Irish brewing, made its much anticipated debut September 14th at select LCBO's throughout the province to high acclaim.
It was slated to be released September 19th, but when a member of Bartowel.com came across some at his local LCBO, he quickly informed his fellow beer enthusiasts and sales soared.
"Some stores sold out very quickly and I had to make a quick trip back to Toronto to re-stock", claimed Mason. He mentions this only four days after the porter hit the shelves.
The beers pours a dark black that releases a chocolaty aroma. Hints of nuts and cocoa show up and attack the palate and the soft water used to brew it make the Porter a nice refreshing, smooth beer. It is also bottled in a stubby, making it easily recognizable at the stores.
The Black Irish Plain porter would make a great companion for a hearty stew in the cool days of an Ontario autumn. It is a terrific beer that Ontario was in desperate need of and should be proud of it.
Good Work Scotch Irish.
