Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald (Porter Ale)

This beer is as black as a stout, and smells of rich, rich coffee, brewed with dark cocoa.  On top sits a delicious looking, fluffy beige head.  I haven't even tasted it yet (not my first, but it's been a while).



The taste is dark & burnt, like pile driving your face into a fire pit flooded by last night's rain.  The lacing is clinging.

The feel of this brew is silky and creamy, but in the manner that melted dark chocolate is silky and creamy.

This delicious specimen of brew master passion & effort has besieged my brain with thoughts of a heavy breakfast, filled to the brim with eggs, potatoes, bacon & sausage, and followed by a delicious chocolate pastry for an after-breakfast dessert.

Great Lakes is certainly one of my most adored breweries, period.
