Bottle. Pours a clear cola brown with a large light tan head. Coffee, roast, chocolate on the nose. Medium bodied, light echo of all of the lovely aromas, with a nice roast note coming through. Finishes with a very soft bitterness. Very tasty.

Jul 9, 2009 Tried it on tap in pizzeria in Fayetteville, WV.
Pours darks brown. Nose is bready, toasted malts, coffee and dark fruit. Full body with coffee, sweet dark fruit flavors and long finish of hops and sweet juicy malts. What a great, complex, balanced porter.

Jul 7, 2009 From a bottle. Rich coffee, chocolate, roast, and sweet tart aroma. Pours super dark brown with hints of ruby light through the edges. Taste is nice and roasty with lots of coffee taste. Quite smooth and drinkable, fairly balanced, although a little too ashy and not as fruity (yeast-wise) as I prefer in a Porter. All around good beer.

Jul 5, 2009 Bottle as part of a 6-pack. I’ve had it quite a few times bottled, but never rated it. One of my favorite beers, hands down. Pours a very dark brown, almost opaque, even when held to light. Tan head, fades quickly but leaves nice little islands. I love the aroma - chocolate + delicious roast comes through. Super creamy beer, exactly the way I like it. The taste is the best part though - coffee, chocolate, roasted malts - all come through with a nice bitter finish. The slightly bitter finish really puts it over the top when compared to other beers of the style. Almost perfect.

Jul 5, 2009 Draft pint from Arnold’s in downtown Cincinnati. Very dark brown pour with light tan head. Smooth, roasty, chocolaty, malty, with coffee aroma and taste, too. Excellent, well-crafted porter.

br />5/14/2009: Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald Porter has always come across as a very roasty and robust porter. It drinks more like a full blown stout, but is quite good and very respectable nonetheless. This beer is near black in color. It has a medium-full body that provides some heft to support the roasty, bittersweet chocolate aroma and flavor. There are even some notes of coffee and black barley. Overall this is a well-crafted, robust porter that still stands up today with all of the the other new and extreme beers.
Pint (draught) at Mulligan’s Hyde Park Pub in Cincinnati, Ohio. Rating #921 for this beer.

Jul 1, 2009 Wow. Simultaneously a very typical porter in terms of appearance and palate but totally exceptional in flavor. Roasted coffee and chocolate aroma gives way to excellent coffee/caramel/chocolate taste with a nice level of bitter hops to balance it out. Loved this the first time I tried it and like it even better now. Fantastic stuff, a perfect session beer.
