Founders Porter

Brewed by Founders Brewing Company
Style: Porter
Grand Rapids, Michigan USA

Deep brown almost black with tan head and lace. Aroma of toasted malt and coffee. Chocolate, medium coffee, with a nice malt bitter. Medium/full bodied with good carbonation, and a hint of thin.

Opaque black body topped by a massive creamy khaki colored head that leaves some lovely lacing all the way down the glass. Rich aroma of roasted barley cocoa powder and espresso. Bitter dark chocolate with undertones of licorice, and roasted coffee flavors. Full bodied with a smooth and creamy texture. Very well done.

This porter is highly rated on this site but I’ve tasted far better porters. This ale is too roasted, too bitter, too metallic. The overly roasted malts dont allow for the smoothness or sweetness of superior porters like Samual Smith’s Taddy Porter.

Extremely drinkable, dark brown verging on black pour with minimal off white frothy head. Aroma of robust coffee, dark chocolates, and heavier malts. Goes down very smooth, and at 6.5 alc I think I’ll have another.

tle from the brewer 3 months ago. Pours jet black with lots of brown foam in head, that leaves a spider lace trail. Aroma of roasted malts, and a hint of mollasses. As we drink through the pint, chocolate malts are noticed in aroma as well as taste. Carbonation is right there, and refreshing. Anise and chocolate in residual.Great porter.Average mouthfeel, smooth drinking.

From a bottle poured dark brown with almost no head. Nice sweet toasted malty flavor with a lingering finish.

Pours a black color with a small tan head. Has a roasted malty chocolate aroma with hints of coffee. Roasted malty chocolate and coffee flavor. Has a roasted malty chocolate finish.

Strong coffee flavor with slight bitter finish. Pretty good porter overall but not the best ive ever had.
