Porters

This longstanding style can be traced back to the working class of the 1700s and its popularity with street and river porters. A porter is dark in color with flavors of chocolate, light coffee, nut and caramel. Porters are less roasty and espresso-like than stouts, but have deeper cocoa flavors than brown ales. Porters are a great beer to have with a wide variety of foods, and a favorite among many craft brewers and their fans.
