Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald Porter
Cleveland, OH
5.8% ABV
Appearance: Dark, nearly black velvet, but not opaque like a stout (slight transparency to the body) and with a reddish tinge to the liquid. Half-inch khaki-colored head. Amazing appearance. 4.5/5
Smell: Dark malts, lots of sweet grapes and raisins, very bready. 4.0/5
Taste: Delicious dry malts, roasted grains, slightly dry on the finish. A touch of raisin sweetness, but not too much. Basically a note-perfect American Porter. 4.5/5
Mouthfeel: Moderate thickness, mild carbonation, no significant hops. Smooth. 3.5/5
Drinkability: This may be my all-time favorite porter. 4.0/5
Overall: 4.25/5
(And that's probably being a bit too harsh on it, numerically speaking.)
