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.

Pours a dark amber color with a puffy head. Smells of oak, roasted charcoal, and dark chocolate. Tastes of coffee, roasted malts, and definitely get the charcoal taste as well. Got a little bitterness in the finish and is a bit heavy in the stomach. Not my favorite brew, but I tolerated it.

Pours a dark brown with a big, puffy, well retained cloud-like head. Smells of light roast and sweet dark fruits. Maybe a touch of some chocolate cream as well. Tastes of very roasty malts, a touch of light coffee grounds and dark fruit in the finish. The chocolate cream is more subdued in the flavor and the sweetness of it becomes more prevalant. Pretty solid porter, but maybe a touch too sweet for it to really be a favorite.

Bottle. Pours a brown/dark red color with a big fizzy head. The first thing I notice about this beer is that it is overcarbonated. The aroma is a tad malty, grainy, dark toast and maybe nutty. Flavor is good, but beer just has too much carbonation. Drinkable for sure, but not my favorite porter by a long shot.

Pours a dark red with a beige head. Aroma features sappy hops, a hint of banana and light grainy chocolate. On the palate there is firm understated roast grain, a hint of chocolate and caramel malt, banana, and minty character that becomes more and more medicinal as the beer warms. The finish is malty and medicinal. Good beer although medicinal character detracts somewhat from the whole.

Bottle. Blackish beer with a very strong head. The aroma is midlly roasted and the flavour is quite deeply roasted. Overall a nice roasted and bitter’ish beer.
