Big Ridge Brewing Old Sullivan Porterwww.markjamesgroup.com/bigridge.html
This is the first brewpub brew I'm reviewing, I've tried all of their brews but decided this one would be a good one to start with. Big Ridge Brewing, a brewpub in Surrey, BC, has been open since 1999. They have excellent food, without much variety however. This brew, is a dark ale "rich and roasty with a smooth malt finish."
It is completely black in colour, no seeing through this glass. It has a thick tan head which clings to the side of the glass.
It smells strongly of chocolate and malt with undertones of hops and licorice.
The taste starts off with malt and licorice with the hops peeking through in the middle. The finish lightly tastes of licorice with a strong malt component.
This brew is a really nice porter, with a nice complex flavour profile, with a strong finish. It goes great with pub fare, or, obviously, on it's own.
