Beer Review: Pipeline Porter by Kona Brewing Company
Kona’s Pipeline Porter is the last beer I drank as part of the Open It! online event. This beer is my brother’s favorite beer, and when I went to Vegas I brought him back a six pack as an early Christmas gift. He was pretty blown away, he expected just one, lonely single bottle. Pipeline is a highly regarded Porter and only has a limited bottling run each year. Coffee flavors in this beer are not just from malt, but also from 100% Kona coffee that is added to each batch.
Tasting Notes:
Poured a deep brown into a Pipeline Porter shaker pint and a nice tan head formed. Strong coffee aroma with malt and chocolate behind it. Coffee also dominates the flavor profile of this beer. The malt brings a nice sweetness and there is no bitterness from the coffee as one expects. A very smooth beer with nice carbonation and balance. Definitely worth picking up given the chance.
