Day 247 - Black Boss Porter

I had been thinking that I owed dad a dedication, for no other reason than he just flat out deserves it for many reasons. So looking at the pipeline, this one just was appropriate, since I have called dad "boss" for many, many years. It also certainly has a unique personality, just like dad.... ;>)

A deep, clear brown and a very strong sweet aroma. Uh Oh... Fears realized, it drinks liked heavily roasted & malted sugar syrup with carbonation. I'm halfway through and my taste buds have rolled over and given up crying for uncle and now stoically accept their 22.9 oz fate.

Specs:

Full Name: Black Boss Porter
Brewed By: Browar Witnica SA
From: Poland
ABV: 9.4%

IMHO, this is another great beer for pot roasting, or for those that like their beer sweet with a kick. Actually, dad has pretty much given up drinking beer, and scratches that itch with the occasional G&T or good whisky. While he doesn't win the Florence Nightingale award for bedside manner (it's true boss... ;>) ), his dedication, support and positive attitude was a bulwark for mom to hold onto for many months. Now, he has the tougher road to follow for a while, but he will get there, and if I know him, there will be a fishing rod involved.

Cheers dad!
