PORTER
Smooth and silky, our flagship Porter pours a dark mahogany with a firm cap of tan foam. The complex malt bill imparts bittersweet chocolate and coffee notes and a depth that bigger beers aspire to. And unlike many of the stronger, sweeter dark beers in the market, Porter remains robust while having a refreshing character that doesn’t weigh down the palate.
