WHY THIS BEER IS DELECTABLE …
From the Brewer – “Caramel, caramel, caramel! There is caramel in this beer, make no mistake. We took a traditional style porter and added REAL caramelized sugar for a delicious caramel flavor.
This is a traditional dark English style porter with a sweet caramel flavor, making it a very attractive beer to people who don’t usually like dark beer. The rich color comes from roasted barley, chocolate malt and caramel malt, which also add a nice roasted flavor.
We use East Kent Goldings hops, a very traditional English ale hop, which has roots back to the late 1700s. The other hops, Willamette, is a U.S. grown variety although it has a lot of the same characteristics as an English ale hop.”
Great when served with Spicy food, BBQ, Smoked Meats, Creme Brulee.

Intimidating color. Unexpected taste. Welcome to American Porter.
From the Brewer – “Detailed in a letter from the General to his officers during the war, Washington’s recipe employed molasses to aid fermentation and give rich caramel notes to this robust, roasty ale. The recipe reflected his admiration for Philadelphia-style porters, especially those brewed by Robert Hare (whose original brewery stood just blocks from where ours is now). Our Tavern Porter, inspired by Washington’s, is dark, smooth, and complex with just a hint of dried fruit in the finish.”
From the Brewer – “Pours silky black with a creamy tan head. The nose is sweet with strong chocolate and caramel malt presence. No absence of hops gives Founders’ robust porter the full flavor you deserve and expect. Cozy like velvet. It’s a lover, not a fighter.”
From the Brewer – “A full bodied porter that gets its dark luscious color from the generous use of roasted malts. You’ll get just the right amount of chocolate and peanut butter to question whether you’re drinking a glass of delicious suds or popping a peanut butter cup in your mouth.”
Named for the great ship that tragically sunk in Lake Superior in 1975 with many Northeast Ohioans on board, our Edmund Fitzgerald is the dark, brooding type. One sip of this complex, flavorful porter inspires lavish bar napkin poetry and spirited closing-time soliloquies. It’s a meticulously crafted love letter in a bottle, an epic and flavorful voyage, each sip a bittersweet tribute.
“Gonzo is big, bold, and beautiful like the man it was brewed in honor of” – Hunter S. Thompson
From the Brewer – “The Mikkeller Porter is brewed at Amager Bryghus, bottled in half liter bottles and adorned with another label by American artist Keith Shore. This porter might be the most delicious beer Mikkeller has brewed in 2011. So soft, smooth, sweet and black, so inviting, delicate and habit-forming we are having second thoughts even releasing it. If you go just half as crazy as the people who have already tried it we will have a massive addiction epidemic on our hands. Mikkel even suggested drinking the whole batch himself, because as he said, Porter is so good it hurts him to see other people drink it. After some consideration we have decided to release it in one month.”
From the Brewer – “Ruddy brown in color, a bittersweet balance of malt and hops with a light cream finish.” Dedicated to the chocolate lover in each of us. Mocha Porter was once known as New Porter, in honor of the town of Newport, Oregon and home of Rogue Ales.
