| Description: | Satchmo, is a collaboration between Smuttynose and Portsmouth's Black Trumpet Bistro. It's also a collaboration between two fungi, brewer's yeast (sacchromyces cerevisiae) and black trumpet mushrooms (craterellus cornucopioides). Best described as a brown porter, Satchmo's base beer doesn't exhibit the roasty notes and black color of a porter nor does it have the rich caramelly sweetness of a brown ale; it falls somewhere between the two, but lacks the common taste signifiers of the two styles. The mushrooms heroically fill that flavor gap with a subtle earthiness and mouthfeel that can only be described as umami-licious. | |
