Robust and complex, our Porter is a bittersweet tribute to the legendary freighter’s fallen crew—taken too soon when the gales of November came early.

Bottle (9/20/25) from Eddy's Beverage Center, Saratoga Springs. Clear, dark brown with garnet hues, light sparkle, ephemeral head with no lacing. Aroma is roasted malt with toffee, molasses. Taste follows aroma. Smooth texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Decent, non-adjuncted porter.

Bottle from 101 Bottles, Kent, OH. Gorgeous porter aroma , deep in nuts, some smoked malt. Lovely look with lasting espresso foam. Nice tasting and easy finish. Just the kind of porter I like to drink - no rough edges and lasting tings with soft choco and coffee notes. Finally, a great lakes I really enjoyed.
