Draft, one of the best beer magazines out there, reviews Ska Brewing Co.'s Ten Pin Porter in the January/February issue.
The magazine awarded Ten Pin Porter a score of 90 out of 100. The review says:
A slight smokiness with a robust roasted aroma rises from the bubbly but thin head atop this almost-black brew. But while the roasted quality dominates the nose, a sweet malt presence and a touch of banana esters hang in the background. The taste is one continuous wave of sweetness, driven by a mouthfeel akin to a thin dark chocolate shake. Hops are present, but inform more sweetness than bitterness, while caramel malts combine to create a very smooth, juicy porter. The mouthfeel turns a bit sharp at the end, but a prolonged sweetness in the finish prevails.
