Summit Great Northern Porter

Brewed by Summit Brewing Company
Style: Porter
St. Paul, Minnesota USA

Pours a thin black brown, with an off white one finger head. Smell is roasted chocolate, coffee, and a smoky pipe tobacco character. Taste is roasted malt, dark bitter chocolate, burnt coffee, and hops in the finish. Nice porter.

Dark pour with small brown head. Nose is roast with a touch of coffee. Flavor has some chocolate, coffee and a tad of sweetness to it. Body is rather light, but has a nice roasty finish.

Bottle purchased at John’s Grocery in Iowa City, IA. Pours a dark burgundy with a fluffy, pitted, beige head that laces nicely. The nose is of roasty malt and cocoa, light tobacco and faint coffee. Light-bodied and creamy-slick with a dry, roasted, bitter finish. Roasted malt, chocolate, dark roasted coffee and faint toffee. This is a pretty decent porter and is certainly worth trying if you enjoy the style.

Pours a dark brown with a medium dirty white head. Has a roasted coffee nose and a smooth malty aftertaste. Thinner than it looks but with good flavor.

Dark brown with a medium off-white head. Aroma of roasted malts, coffee and bread. Taste of roasted malts, coffee and mild chocolate. Grainy texture that’s semi-watery and has a mild bitter finish.

Single from Three Cellars Milwaukee. Dark quickly dissipating head. The Beer itself is very dark in color. Rich great full body taste that is slightly sweet. The carbonation has a small bite.

Looks pretty nice, dark brown, big tan head. Aroma is mostly malty, with a little bit of toffee sweetness. The flavor is kind of a let down - tons of chalky, roasted malt, not much of anything else. Sure, there is a little bit of chocolate and toffee in there, but the malt character really dominates. Pretty watery for a porter. Not a big fan.

Pours a deep black colour with a big fluffy tan head. Lots of caramel, toffee and chocolate flavors. Very rich mouthfeel. One of the nicer porters i’ve had recently.
