FBC Pioneer Porter Clone vs. FBC Pioneer Porter
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the face off between Fredericksburg Brewing Company's Pioneer Porter, and the clone I made from an old article from BYO Magazine.
On the left is the current title holder, a pint of FBC porter fresh from my growler.
On the right is the contender, my clone attempt!
Let's get ready to rumblllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllle!
So in a two to one decision: I lose! At least at the end it's still a drinkable beer.
I could add more black patent to color the head, but I'm not sure how to fix the body and flavor issues.
