30 years ago the SS Edmund Fitzgerald sank in Lake Superior. The beer, Edmund Fitzgeralf from Great Lakes Brewery certainly does not sing, it rides high in the water. Pouring a dark brown with a chocolate delicious flavor., this is an outstanding porter. Malt and hops flavor both very noticeable.. Nicely carbonated leaving a very satisfying finish

Pours a dark brown/black that shows some light. One finger frothy tan head. The nose is malty, earthy bready malts, coffee, sweet, molasses, . The flavor is bitter coffee, bakers chocolate, waxy hop bitterness, molasses, rich. The palate is bitter and roasty. Very tasty and rich porter.

Very similar to Bell’s Porter but this brew has a creamier mouthfeel and a more bitter finish and because of that, I like it better.

Draft @ Capones: Poured a dark dark brown with not much head. The aroma was chocolate roasted malt. The flavor was chocolate, nutty, sweet and malty. Delicious! Overall and excellent Porter.

Pours deep brown with a small head. Aroma of roasted malts and chocolate. Very fizzy almost coke like in taste. A little thin with toasted malt and chocolate in the taste. Dry finish. Wasn’t expecting the carbonation, which was th eonly downside to this one.
