So this weekend I tried a porter from the brewing compony Fire Station 5 that is located here in Portland. It was ok but I wasn’t that impressed. It had the typical color and after taste of a porter, but the flavor and smell were a little off. Its smelled sweet almost “like my wort” as Andy stated. Plus it tasted like a porter wort, too sweet for my tastes. The taste was very mild, not like the typical porter that explodes with flavor upon tasting. Basically, I would drink it again but I wouldn’t go to the store looking to buy this beer.

Log Away
Moveable Type seems to be functioning properly now. There’s no way to change the archive files from html to php, so I had to do some not so great things with the .htaccess file. It works now, and hopefully Scott will be albe to try it out soon.
Blackbeard Oatmeal Stout
I just brewed an Oatmeal stout that was my own recipe. I’m still somewhat concerned because the OG was only 1.050, but I’m hoping it was due to malt settling. Its a beautiful color, but we’ll have to wait and see how it turns out. I’ll add the recipe once I make sure its worth repeating.
First Entry – Test
This entry is a test so I can mess with the template.
I’m hoping to provide an easy to update beer log. I may duplicate my own log on here, maybe even *gasp* replace my paper beer log.
Anyway, this should provide a good place to put news, brews, etc.
