Tröegs Dead Reckoning Porter

Beer-a-Day #325 Troegs Dead Reckoning Porter

In the 14th Century, Sailors would rely on sheer skill to get from a starting point to a final destination.  They called this Dead Reckoning.  We see our beer the same way.  We know where to begin and know where to go, but there are hundreds of ways to get there.

Dead Reckoning is unfiltered and weighs in at 5.8% abv and 53 IBU’s. It features Pilsner, Caramel, Chocolate and Roasted malts along with Chinook and Vanguard hops. “The outstanding taste and flavor of Dead Reckoning originates in the chocolate and roasted malts,” says John Trogner. “There is a nice hoppiness in the front of the beer, followed with a rich, smooth cocoa mouth feel.”

Very dark and nearly opaque. Beige head is a finger thick and rugged. Chocolate and roast coffee; smells rich. Nice roasted flavor with a hefty yet mellow bitterness. When I think of a porter that’s pretty much what I’m looking for. Delicious.
