English Porter

English Porter is a moderate-strength brown beer with a restrained roasty character and bitterness. It has a malty flavor profile with mild caramel, chocolate, toffee, and sometimes coffee notes, balanced by a moderate hop bitterness. Originating in London in the early 1700s, it was historically made with brown malt, though modern versions typically use pale malt as a base with additions of chocolate, crystal, and sometimes black malt.
