Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald Porter

A solid, comforting porter, just the thing on a chilly halloween night. Nice aroma of malt and molasses. Subtle, hoppy nose. Body is tobacco, carmelized brown sugar and finishes bittersweet (but not in that order). This is my first beer from Great Lakes but I will have to try some others and see if they are as good as this one!

Deep dark brown to black color. Cream medium bodied head. Dark roast style coffee aroma most present, with hints of chocolate. Strong taste of coffee, with hints of chocolate. very low bitterness, mostly bittersweet, as the bitterness seems to come more from the coffee malt than the hops. Great Porter, very clean and a fairly simple, dark but well balanced taste.

This is a pretty good porter. It has a nice strong roasted mallt, chocolate, and coffee flavor. THe head is a nice and near the beer surface. Ths is a good after dinner beer or could go with a good steak.

(Bottle, Monk’s Café, Wallingatan, Stockholm) Dark brown colour, almost black. Pale brown head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of ryvita, tobacco and chocolate. Malty, roasted taste with chocolate, dark rye bread, raisins, blackberries, a touch of smoke and tobacco. Nice dry finish with a chocolatey bitterness. Medium body, fairly dry. Nice, dry porter with a different tobacco touch.

wonderful- pours with the color and head of a cream soda - nice toasted marshmallow aroma, chewy roasty nutiness with a little hop presence in the background, a really top notch beer all around, no weaknesses

Bottle. Pour is clear dark brown with small tan head. Really pretty light. Aroma is light coffee and malt with a hint of hop. Mouthfeel is more velvety than expected, really nice. Flavor is roasted malt, light coffee finish with a malty sweetness and a nice hop presence. Good stuff.

Well, The best american beer. Tastes better all other porters, I don’t find anything wrong with it at all.
