Another American beer based on an English classic, the American Porter is related to the English Porter, but taken to a higher level of flavor and intensity.
Generally a medium to dark brown, a Porter can be thought of as a less-strong version of a Stout. There are many variations of the American Porter style, some with smoked malts, some highly hopped, and some add coffee or chocolate to enhance the dark roasted chocolate malt and roasted barley flavors. Most Porters are on the bitter side but well balanced and complex. There is also an Imperial Porter style which, like the Imperial IPA and Imperial Stout, is a stronger version of the non-Imperial style.
Best served between cool and cellar temperatures, around 46-57 degrees, and in a pint glass or beer mug.
Porters were invented as a fortifying drink for the rough-and-tumble working class of London’s bustling markets. It was brewed for good folks with calluses on their hands, doing work that needed to be done.
St. Charles Porter® is based on the homebrew recipe of co-founder Kent Taylor and named after his son Charles. The flavors of this beer meld together to create a full-bodied “little piece of heaven”.
Hearty malts meld with a subtle balance of hops to create a dark and nurturing ale of comfort and complexity. Hints of bittersweet chocolate and espresso fill the tongue, finishing with just a touch of smoke.
We always love a good experimental brew here at Terrapin, but the salty-sweet combo of peanuts and chocolate has us all salivating a little more than usual. This brew, while smooth and mellow, still manages to challenge your tastebuds.
