Bell's Porter

Dogfish Head Brewery got me into craft beers a few years back reintroducing me to what I had previously known as micro-brews. Since then I have been trying them ALL. Hailing from Michigan originally makes me slightly biased for the many Michigan breweries and their delicious brews. So I decided that it was time to start reviewing some of the tasty beers Michigan has to offer! Bell's Porter is a really nice place to start. Poured out of the bottle into a pint glass it is rich and dark, it created a two inch cream colored head and left some lacing. It is rich tasting beer with hints of coffee and vanilla, a little bit of hop and a lot of malt. This beer gets better as it warms up to room temperature as most good beers do. Can't wait for the next bottle.

Brewed with a generous mix of chocolate malt and roast barley, our Porter matches subtle coffee aromas to a solid malt finish. Lighter in body than its stouter cousins, Porter earned a prominent place in our portfolio of beers with its balance of roasted flavors. First brewed in 1987, Porter remains a favorite among both our brewers and Bell's drinkers alike.
