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.

Pours a brownish-black color with a medium foamy beige head that recedes gradually. Small patches of lacing on the glass. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate and coffee. Light to medium body with a roasty malt and coffee character and notes of sweet chocolate in the background. The finish is sweet with a chocolate malt aftertaste. Decent overall.

light chocolatier porter. Mildly sweet. Not bad. Some roastiness. Not sure why make a lighter beer at 5.5%.
