Our imagined homage to an early 19th century porter brewed & blended by the Washington Brewery (located in DC’s Navy Yard from 1805 -1836); this porter is a blend of 3 brews, each also inspired by historic offerings from the Washington Brewery, and each brewed from the same base recipe, but to varying strengths: 25% #1 - strong ale (6.7% abv; finished with Brettanomyces), 37.5% #2 - x ale (8.5% abv), 37.5% #3 - table beer (2.6% abv; soured with Lactobacillus); crafted with traditional ingredients (Thomas Fawcett amber malt & molasses),classic American-grown cluster hops & Virginia-grown wheat; brewed in collaboration w/ local beer historian Michael Stein

Sampled on tap at the brewery. Pours a disgusting looking muddy brown with some white head that faded fast. Aroma has soggy bread, mild vinegar, some cocoa powder and not much else. Flavor is the same, watery malt, soggy bread, hints of apple cider vinegar, cocoa. Watery finish.

Draft - Soured dark malts. Deep cloudy brown with a nice beige head. Light tartness, soured dark malts and toasted malts with a touch of coffee. Interesting.

Draft at the source. Clear maroon color, tan head. Aroma of sourdough brownies. Taste is very malty cocoa with softly sour chocolate and light coffee. Fascinating.

Poured a slightly muddy dark ruby color, almost brown, but not quite with a small off-white head. Aroma was light roast, some slightly funky notes, chocolate. Chocolate, bitterness and some mild funk. Pretty decent for a blend of three really different beers.
