Glorious Goney is the latest Moby Dick dark beer offering. It is a full flavored, medium- bodied Porter. This beer falls somewhere between a English Porter and a Robust Porter as far as traditional beer categories go. It is definitely a malt forward beer with very little hop bitterness. It is dark brown almost black but will have ruby overtones if held up to the light. There are flavors of chocolate and toffee due to the specialty malts used in this beer. For the first week or two this beer will be served as a “Velvet” offering (which means on nitrogen). This beer goes great with smoked and grilled meats such as bacon, steak or pork. It is a great pairing with blue cheeses such as Gorgonzola or Stilton. It is also a great beer to pair with rich chocolate or coffee flavored desserts. By the way, a Goney is an ancient mariner’s term for an albatross.
