Bert Grant's Perfect Porter
Consumed: May 2001
WHAM! Chocolate. POW! Coffee. This was the beer that truly opened the door for me, and led to have a much greater appreciation for experiencing rather than getting sloppy. This is my model for a perfect porter. Call me biased, but this is my blog! :)
I had this beer while on vacation in Florida, and haven't been able to get it here, in Maryland, ever!
I don't know if I will ever have a beer quite as good as this one, as it paved the way for an obsession.
RIP Bert Grant, 2001

Consumed: say, 2005?
Man, what can I say? A gigantic glass filled with bananas and cloves. That about sums it up.
I fell in love with this at first sniff. It had a super pale yellow/green color with a good solid 2 fingers of head. It was so good, that every night on my business trip I went back to the same pub and ordered it!
The restaurant served a wood-fired pizza with grilled chicken and veggies on top that this witbier absolutely complemented perfectly!
It still remains as one of my top 10 beers!
Grade: A+
