Blackwater Dry Porter brewed by Orlando Brewing - Orlando, Florida

Orlando Brewing's Blackwater Dry Porter uses american organic malts, hops and ale yeast, similar to stout, but without the roasted characteristics and light in body with an earthy flavor and a clean crisp dry finish. The dryness comes from the use of organic chocolate barley in addition to organic pale malt, moderate hop bitterness, and good attenuation. Water used in this porter has a carbonate hardness. An original dry porter we call the “Black Lite”.
     

    
Beer Review by Beer Advocate
Poured on-tap at World of Beer in Viera, FL. Never had anything from this brewery before, so I figured I'd give it a shot. The beer was served in a pint glass, and it was a very deep, dark brown with amber highlights on the edges. No head to speak of. Aromas of molasses and coffee, blending into a nice bittersweet smell. Crisp and dry in mouth, which makes sense why it was listed on the beer menu as a Dry Porter; it's not just a clever name. Very smooth coffee flavors that start sweet, with the bitter, dark roasted flavors into the finish. Bitter and roasted aftertaste, too. Very easy to drink, and very tasty. Combined with a low ABV, this is an easy brew to session.
