Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald Porter
Very nice roasty porter from Great Lakes. Pours very dark, almost black, but with dark orange highlights. Almost no head retention and spotty lacing, but nice head to begin with. Smells like roasted grain for the most part, but their is a nice complex winey smell on the finish. Taste starts immediately with roasted grain and then becomes more creamy with some plum pudding flavors. Very dry as a porter should be, slightly winey finish, delicious. The mouthfeel is smooth and has a little creaminess to it, but is just a tad lighter than I'd like. Very dry, a quite carbonated. Quite drinkable- nice flavor, smooth, and balanced creaminess.
