I'm not entirely sure why my opinion today (20120607) contrasts with my above opinion (20120527), but I suspect I was sick and my taste buds were out of order. Another possibility is that the beer was bad. However, given I was able to smell the beer, but not taste it, makes the first possibility quite reasonable.

Hangar 24 Chocolate Porter
Rich and decadent. This strong porter is perfect for sipping at the end of the day or to accompany full-flavored foods. The intense, roasty flavor comes from two types of chocolate malt and raw cocoa nibs. Whole vanilla beans introduced post fermentation add complexity and enhance the dessert-like qualities of this full bodied beer. Indulge yourself!
Additional Information:
This beer began life as our Panamanian Porter with the flavors of chocolate, vanilla and banana. A truly unique beer, we felt that all those flavors needed some smoothing out so we changed yeast strains and eliminated the banana flavor (Which came from the yeast strain). The Panamanian Porter did have many fans however, and there may be plans in the future to bring it back for a special occasion. Stay tuned…
