Everett

Tap to rate

Chocolate, coffee and malty sweetness shape this American porter, with bitter dark chocolate and dark-roast coffee in the glass. English and German roasted malts, American hops, the house ale yeast and well water build it, unfiltered, naturally carbonated and kept in stainless steel at 7.2%. Everett (1908–1939) was the grandfather's brother, and the beer carries his name in the Ancestral series.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Everett

◎ Appearance

Deep mahogany to opaque brown, characteristic of a well-crafted American porter. The unfiltered character shows natural haze from suspended yeast and proteins. Fine carbonation produces a modest, persistent head with visible lacing retention down the glass.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and full-bodied, with rich chocolate and coffee flavors building on the palate. Mid-palate sweetness from English and German roasted malts provides structure and balance. Bitterness rises steadily in the finish, grounded by dark chocolate notes rather than hop sharpness.
