Commercial Description:
One legend has it that thirsty railway luggage handlers in England consumed mixture of different ales in the same pint called "entire." As this mixture gained popularity among the porters, brewers came up with a new style of ale to keep up with the demand. In brewing Concord Junction Porter, we have chosen a variety of ingredients to create its smooth complexity. Grains- Brown and Chocolate malts add nutty, chocolate, and coffee flavors. Hops- Willamette hops create balance with a floral spiciness.

Rasberry chocolate nose? More body than most porters I’ve had, which is fine with me. Great find by my man Gregl40. This brew claims to have won the silver medal in the World Beer Cup of 2000, and I believe it, because this beer is awesome.

Gotta love Concord! This is a nice dark beer, sweet and earthy at the same time. A little bit creamy, and poured with a generous alabaster head. A beer that looks as pretty as it tastes.

Like those who excavated the tomb of Tutankanen, I feel as though I have discovered a treasure! An olfactory delight of cafe. Just a tad too filling.

Clear chestnut with ruby hues and some specks floating about. Thin foamy tan head. Trickling carbonation. Roasted caramel and burnt chocolate aroma, quite strong. Mellow and malty with roasted notes, burnt sugar , chocolate and black malt sharpness. Medium body. Dry but with hints of molasses. Finishes with a mix of walnuts, coffee and anise. As it warmed this brew exploded with flavor. A keeper.
