Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald Porter

Brewed by Great Lakes Brewing Company
Style: Porter
Cleveland, Ohio USA

Almost opaque dark brown pour with a decent tan head. Nice roasted coffee aroma. Flavor is roasted malt with a touch of chocolate. A bit thin in body, but flavorful. Not bad.

nice dark color but to bitter for me its not a 98 (also tried anchor porter that is a 98) will never it buy again should have went down with ship to many hops

From a variety 12-pack. Very dark, but I could see my fingers through the other side of the glass. The head lasts. This is a nice dry porter, very roasty (smoky even), coffee-ish. Soft body, perhaps lighter than expected. Still one of my favorites in the porter/stout family.

Bottle. Pours very dark brown with thin, long lasting tan head. Aroma is roasty coffee and bitter chocolate. Flavor is roasted coffee, some bitter chocolate notes, and maybe some smokiness. Very well balanced, but perhaps a bit acidic. Mouthfeel is very nice, not as thin as a lot of porters. Very drinkable and pretty delicious.

Appearance: Pours a not quite opaque, dark brown body with a small, fizzy light khaki-colored head. Smell: Aroma of cold coffee and unsweetened chocolate with a faint whiff of acrid smoke and pine. Taste: Bittersweet chocolate flavor with some roasty coffee and a slight caramel sweetness. A teaspoon of cherry cordial comes and goes with a quickness. Hint of roasted nuts. Resinous pine hop presence provides a touch of balancing bitterness. Piney, mocha-ish finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: A quality, well-balanced porter that’s full of flavor and easily drinkable.

(Bottle, thanks Degarth. Best before 10/02/07) Pours very dark brown to black with a brown head. The aroma is roasted and toasted with tones of chocolate, coffee and brown sugar. Undertones of dark berries, nuts and oven roasted root vegetables, wet stone, citrus and rhubarb. The flavour is roasted with tones of coffee and chocolate. Undertones of nut cream and a light citric hop sting. The mouthfeel is dry and light sourish from the roasted grain but otherwise very smooth, creamy and velvety. Light to medium bodied. Where are the 60 IBU?

12 oz bottle shared at Foam Rangers club meeting. Pours dark with an off-white head. Good smell of coffee and roast malt. Taste is coffee with a hint of chocolate. Mouthfeel is medium-to-thin with a little carbonation and some bitterness at the end.

Pours very nice dark brownish/black with decent tan head. Aroma is mostly hearty roasted malts with a hint of chocolate and a similar spicy hop aroma utilized in their Holy Moses white ale. Flavor is excellent, full bodied, sweet roasted chocolates and a hint of the bitter hops at the finish. Excellent porter.
