The Porter style of beer originated in 18th century London and is a dark, well aged brew descended from ’brown beer.” The darkest of Porters are of course now known as Stouts.
Embrr is indeed dark. After the brownish head dissolves, it appears solid black in the glass, with hints of red/brown visible at the edges in the right light.
According to the brewer, Embrr "...is brewed with a hefty portion of rye and flaked rye to give this smooth porter a rich chocolaty body and hint of spice. Embrr is brewed with 2-Row, Chocolate, Rye, Flaked Rye, Crystal, Roasted Barley, and Sybilla hops."
The aroma is lackluster and metallic. But this is a beer that must be tasted. I would describe the flavor more as roasted nuts and coffee with hints of charcoal, than chocolate. Embrr is also quite bitter, and yet somehow smooth. I quite like it. Its a beer I could get used to.
