Olde Browne Porter

Olde Browne Porter Wine Details
Price:

Description: Our Olde Browne Porter is a full-bodied beer that will please the palate of those that prefer a richer beer. This beer exhibits hints of nut, toffee, and coffee with a slight bitterness unique to this beer in our brands. This is a great beer to finish off a long day that can be enjoyed on its own or with a meal. This beer was originally sold as our Brown Ale from which it gets its name.

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.
