Yuengling Dark Brewed Porter is an original specialty beer that has been brewed expressly for tavern owners and family trade since 1829. We are proud to be one of the largest Porter producers in the US. Our Porter calls for a generous portion of caramel and dark roasted malts, which deliver a rich, full-bodied flavor and creamy taste with slight tones of chocolate evident in every sip.

Bottled. Dark brown with rich head. Slight aroma of figs and honey. Sweet, fruity and reasonably malty with plastic bold mouthfeel and low bitterness. Remarkably similar to lighter examples of Baltic porters brewed in ex-Soviet countries.

Very dark brown; aroma of liquorice, prunes, buckwheat honey, burnt raisins - this is macrobrew? Slightly fizzy, but fairly smooth in its dark malt palate - hints of black currant & liquorice, finishing slightly watery. A decent brew today; thirty years ago I would have been making pilgrammages to Pottsville.

Updating: I think I was too overly impressed with this previously. Its not in the same league as, say, Anchor Porter, regardless of my prev 4.6 rating. It does have a nice roasted character, but a tinge of harshness and its also a bit on the thin side. Bottom-fermenting yeast give it an unusual cleanness for the style.
