Pluff Mud is a mixture of dirt and water indigenous to the marshes of the South Carolina Lowcountry, with a distinct odor that’s endearing to locals, but off-putting to tourists and redcoats.
Our second flagship beer was an effort to bring the American Porter style to the Charleston market proper, while also making a beer that stays appealing as the mercury rises.

12 oz. can. Thanks Ashley! Pours a brown-black color with a small tan head and poor retention. No lacing. Very light roasted nut aroma. Light flavors of dark malt and some chocolate with a short finish. Light, watery body. Thin mouthfeel. Low carbonation. No bitterness. I like the flavors but it needs more body.

$2 can in my mix a six from Ingles. No dating. Pint glass @home. Off-black, russet hued, filtered pour. Tall, frothy pale cocoa head evaporates somewhat quickly, like a meringue taken out the oven too soon. Second pour cascades a little more. Smells of weak coffee, burnt brown sugar, calcium, subtle char smoke. Mellow white toast charred crust sweetness, burnt brown sugar, light cocoa nibs, some cola, earth, calcified finish. Thin, low abv, slight acidity, bittersweet. Pretty good.

Aroma of lightly roasted malt and a hint of coffee, pours a near black with a frothy beige head.Taste mirrors the aroma, with a bit more coffee and also the addition of dark fruits, and some bitterness - it's a really easy drinking porter, smooth and satisfying, with a dry and slightly bitter aftertaste
