Porter·United States·6.5% ABV·One of 242 Porters in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Founders Porter's chocolate and coffee character. Founders Porter is the brewery's year-round porter at 6.5 percent, brewed from seven malts including chocolate and Munich and hopped with Nugget, Willamette and Crystal. It pours near black with a creamy tan head. Roasted coffee and dark chocolate lead the aroma, joined by dried fruit and a sweet caramel note that recalls graham cracker. The body is medium and silky, bitterness stays low, and the finish is smooth with lingering cocoa.
