Description:
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. We salute those working-class heroes with our classic Porter, brewed in the hop-forward American style and featuring a depth of malt flavor and complexity with roasted notes of black coffee and cocoa.

Comments
A reliable choice for a porter
Sierra Nevada's Porter came out of the bottle a very dark brown with a finger white head that was gone a minute later. Malt is the source of sweet cafe mocha and coffee bitterness in the nose as well as in the taste. Hops aren't really detectable for me. Maybe a bit on the thin side, but not watery.
