Perfect for dessert, reddish browned caramelized porter allows polite brown chocolate malt richness to soak burnt-sugared toffee-butterscotch sweetness. Serve to softcore pilsner-lager amateurs as an amiable crossover.

GREAT LAKES EDMUND FITZGERALD PORTER
Named after the doomed ship, well-carbonated jet-black Midwest porter pours thick and creamy (with cascading sienna bubbles rushing to fluffy-headed surface). Milky espresso salience and dark-roasted hop charred nuttiness counter syrupy sweet cocoa-chocolate frontal assault. Ashen peanut-shelled walnut and Brazil nut conflux deepens latent coffee grain bittering to tar-like molasses finish.
MEANTIME LONDON PORTER
ST. PETER’S OLD-STYLE PORTER
Superior full-bodied off-dry ruby-garnet porter allows cascading tan bubbles to build dense upper layer as mildly embittered hop char permeates creamy maple-mocha malt richness, ashy tobacco resin, and fluctuant dried cherry-plum souring. Lingering hazelnut-pecan whir given sour coffee bean propulsion at chalky chocolate finish.
SUNDAY RIVER BLACK BEAR PORTER
Gunky molasses sapped entry and frothy lactose creaminess embellish astounding malted-like Portland porter. Aromatic black chocolate overtones deepen black coffee roast, cherry puree souring and hazelnut-walnut respite before woody hop-charred resiliency coarsens. Chalky cocoa and vanilla illusions settle beneath.
BRIDGEPORT PORTER
HARVEY’S PORTER
Average tan-headed black-hued porter saddles creamy chocolate malting with sticky anise residue, musty barley char, and plum-raisin accents to support front-loaded moldy hop ascendancy. Rather mild and indistinguishable for a porter or a poor man’s version of Guinness Stout.
(NETHERGATE) OLD GROWLER PORTER
Bubbly beige-headed mahogany porter with aromatic mocha sweetness thickening liqueur-like malt creaminess reminiscent of Black Russian or Kahlua. Rich chocolate roast embraces dried-fruited caramelized barley resolve to sour mash finish. Strong, sometimes spicy, yet soft and buttery. A chewy winter full body.
