Commercial Description:
Avaailable on Keg and in 750ml bottles.
George Washington was a big fan of imported English Porter. By 1769 he'd lost his taste for British beers. After all, it was keeping the Redcoats fighting. Our Porter is based on a recipe from 1750. We bring you the original aromas and flavours of the beer that made London the world's brewing capital, flavours we know Washington would have loved. Time, care and attention have enabled us to produce a blend of beers bringing you the flavour of the 1750's. Share this beer with friends and enjoy with barbeques, fish or shellfish. The ruby colour & bottle conditioning are proof of its heritage and authenticity.

Dark brown/amber pour, tan head. Roasted coffee, malts, in the nose. The same in the mouth plus some chocolates. Pretty carbonated with a clean finish. Might be a little light bodied, but good overall.

Bottle from Kegs & Barrels in McKinney, TX. Pours a clear Brown/Amber with beige head. Aroma of slight dark roast and light chocolate. Flavor has some dark roast and a little chocolate as well. Where this beer died was mouthfeel, just did not have the body, seemed very light for this beer, ruined the overall expieriance. Overall, I think I paid too much for this porter.

I’ve had worse porters but I’ve had better. Still enjoyed it. Dark ruby tinged brown, nice light brown head. dry, coffee and cocoa powder. Not bad.

750ml caged and corked bottle from Wilderness Wines in Rangely. Pours a dark brown body with a couple inches of slowly-dissipating rocky light tan head. Smells roasty, chocolatey, earthy, and slightly fruity. Tastes very roasty, with coffee and chocolate notes, nuttiness, with some caramel molasses, and hints of licorice. Flavors are very well-balanced, complex, and somewhat subtle. Medium bodied with a fair bit of carbonation. This a solid example of the style for sure, very tasty, drinkable, and enjoyable. Having said that, it’s unfortunately an occasional treat at the price.

Bottle at ÅBF08. Muddy brown colour. Small tan head. The flavour is OK roasted, hint of coffee. Quite distinct alcohol aftertaste.

Nice looking pour with dark, almost opaque, liquid and a 2 inch tan, frothy head, that lasts 5 minutes or longer. The aroma is strong coffee, cocoa, and dark wood. The taste is zippy, full, very malty, and little coffee, and dark fruit. The texture is surprisingly thicker than most porters and quite carbonated. This detracts from the appeal of this brew measureably, but what it lacks in mouthfeel it makes up for in flavor. The finish is active, but clean and agreeable. The beer is much better when drank with the head, than when it goes away.
