Nethergate Brewery's Old Growler

It says Old Growler on the label, but it doesn't have a picture of my ex wife on it. Didn't know there were two, but I hope this one tastes better.

Pours opaque brownish black with an almost cascading tan head. Looks great.

As soon as I opened it it smelled more like a stout than a porter, mainly because it smells heavily of scotch. It doesn't say barrel aged, so it was kind of unexpected.

Interesting. The scotch is much more subtle in the taste, and it has an excellent vinous taste and the right smooth porter feel to it. Nice beer. I wish it had less of the barrel aged taste to it, but I like it.
