My dad and i went to the brewery back in Fall of 2005 and had dinner and we tried several different beers. When we had the Broater’s Porter we both decided with seconds that this was coming back with us in Growler form. Still to this day we have been trying to find something that compared to it to no avail. We still talk about it today. It was the dessert wine of beers.

Beer Style Description

Mid to dark brown (may have red tint) in color. No roast barley or strong burnt/black malt character should be perceived. Low to medium malt sweetness, caramel and chocolate is acceptable along with medium hop bitterness. This is a light to medium-bodied beer. Fruity esters are acceptable. Hop flavor and aroma may vary from being negligible to medium in character.

Alcohol By Volume Range

4-5.4

IBU's Range

18-35

Aroma

Malt aroma with mild roast should be evident, and may have a chocolaty quality. May also show some non-roasted malt character in support (caramel, grainy, bread, nutty, toffee-like and/or sweet). English hop aroma moderate to none. Fruity esters moderate to none. Diacetyl low to none.

Appearance

Light brown to dark brown in color, often with ruby highlights when held up to light. Good clarity, although may approach being opaque. Moderate off-white to light tan head with good to fair retention.

Flavor

Malt flavor includes a mild to moderate roast (frequently with a chocolate character) and often a significant caramel, nutty, and/or toffee character. May have other secondary flavors such as coffee, licorice, biscuits or toast in support. Should not have a significant black malt character (acrid, burnt, or harsh roasted flavors), although small amounts may contribute a bitter chocolate complexity. English hop flavor moderate to none. Medium-low to medium hop bitterness will vary the balance from slightly malty to slightly bitter. Usually fairly well attenuated, although somewhat sweet versions exist. Diacetyl should be moderately low to none. Moderate to low fruity esters.

Mouthfeel

Medium-light to medium body. Moderately low to moderately high carbonation.
