Feb 16, 2009 Pours a dark, tarrish brown that is completely opaque. Aroma is a collection of chocolate and roasted malts, with a nice, "Perfect Porter" light chocolate-tinged white head. At first taste, the Edmund Fitzgerald demands your attention with a bit of bitter bite. Yet with every drink after that the coffee and dark chocolate notes fill both the palate and the scoresheet. One of, if not my favorite Porter.

Feb 5, 2009 Bottle, pours deep earthy garnet with hints of ruby with a small tan head. Redolent of roasted barley, coffee, caramel, sweet dark fruits, citric hops, some alcohol. Flavor is roast barley, caramel, toffee, sweet malt, coffee, subtle chocolate mixed in with the dry bittersweet hops at the end. Palate is a little too carbonated leading the body to feel somewhat like a soda, it is however nicely warming in the end which is rather distinguishing.

Jan 31, 2009 A good porter. Dark brown to black pour with a thin dark tan head. Main aroma/flavor is roasted coffee with some undertones of dark chocolate. Some flavor is detectable, but mainly only in the bitterness. Smooth mouthfeel for easy drinking.
