Commercial Description:
Big Shoulders Porter is a classic English-style porter. This complex porter is brewed with a creamy malt palate accented by chocolate, caramel and special roast barley. It's a dark brew with a rich character and a smooth balanced taste.

how sad that Chicago Brewing folded their tent. I had this one several years ago and it was well worthy of the great city of Chicago. A robust full bodied, good tasting brew. Had its own unuiqe taste, will be sadly missed
