Blackbird Porter

The Flagstaff Brewing Company in Flagstaff, Arizona makes some delicious brews.  But beware, if you show up anxious to get some brew to take on the road, they will only fill a growler with their name on it.  A growler from any other brewery just won't do.  We learned this the hard way a few years ago.

So Husband went to Flagstaff to do a little boarding earlier this week and I sent him with 3 growlers, one from each of the main breweries in town.  I asked him to bring me home something good but didn't specify what I wanted.

He brought home the Blackbird Porter from Flagstaff Brewing Company (6.0%).  We drank it a day after the growler was filled and then driven from 8,000 feet above sea level to 1,000 feet above sea level ... so it was bordering a little on flat.  We had a friend over to help us drink it and he remarked how much it tasted more like a nut brown than a porter.  As soon as he said that, I agreed.  None-the-less, it was delicious and is now gone.
