Description:
Our darkest year-round brew is Porter. A style originating in London in 1722, porter was extinct in Britain by the late 1970’s. Originally a beer meant to simulate the common practice of combining three different strength beers (known as an entire), porter gave way to Stout Porter (now known as Stout). Our Porter is rich, roasty and loaded with chocolate and coffee flavors. This sweet black ale is a robust full-bodied brew. Alcohol is 6% by volume.

Varietal Definition
Porter:
Porters are red-brown to black in color, medium to medium-full bodied, and characterized by a flavor profile that can vary from very subtle dark malts to fully roasted, smoky flavors. Being a centuries old style, there are differences of opinion with regard to what a "true" porter was actually like and there can be wide variations from one brewer’s interpretation to the next. Roasted malt should provide the flavoring character, rather than roasted barley as is used with stouts. Stronger, darker versions and lighter more delicate versions are equally valid manifestations of the style. The influence of hops can often be notable in the richer craft brewed examples of the style.
