Fonta Flora Brewing X Half Acre Beer Co. Wolf Spit Baltic-style Porter

Wolf Spit is this collaborative beer from Fonta Flora in Nebo, North Carolina, and Half Acre in Chicago, Illinois. Wolf Spit is a Baltic-style Porter made with Shagbark Hickory wood. This Porter is 8.5% ABV. This Shagbark wood is commonly found in the eastern United States. This beer pours a black color with a dark two-finger beige/brown head. The head is slow to fade. The aroma is malty, earthy, bitter, and smoky. The flavor is again earth, malty, bittersweet, and smoky on the back of the tongue/mouth. This beer is full feeling in the mouth. The finish is smoky and slightly bitter with faint roasted notes. The aftertaste is less smoky. This beer is not like a campfire smoke. Then you get some baking chocolate flavor to the aftertaste. This beer is not terrible. This beer is a B-. I found the smoky and earthy flavors to clash a bit. This beer is good. I might go back to Wolf Spit. Please stay safe, be kind to each other, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!
