American Porter
American Porter is a robust dark ale that evolved from the English Porter tradition but with a distinctly American twist, featuring increased hop character and often higher alcohol content. It showcases a moderate to strong dark malt character with flavors of chocolate, coffee, and caramel, balanced by a noticeable American hop presence that provides bitterness and often citrus, pine, or floral notes. Traditional ingredients include pale malt, chocolate malt, black patent malt, crystal malt, and American hops.
