I tried Founders Porter for the first time today, and boy is it fabulous. It’s APV is 6.5% and it’s a rich beer with coffee and chocolate blended together with a nice amount of hoppy flavor and spice. There’s little to no head (not in the draft pour I had, anyways) but the smell is deep and robust. The color is a dark brown/black. The chocolate notes don’t overpower, although they seem to get stronger as you drink it for, if you ask me, a pretty solid finish. The first few sips, though, are just divine. Somewhat spicy– possibly alcohol or pepper? Overall, though, the porter is sweet and good for those days when you’re just craving dessert.
Founder’s hardly ever disappoints and this is no exception. I’d have it again and again (and again).
