This certified organic Porter uses a complex blend of five malts that compliment and highlight one another in a harmonious mixture. While decidedly in the robust porter category, Eel River Brewing Company's Porter has none of the harsh characteristics often associated with dark ales. Instead, you find a rich, smooth beer with suggestions of chocolate and just a hint of coffee. So smooth and malty, this porter will convert even the non-dark-beer drinker.
Food Pairing:
This organic Porter pairs well with roasted or smoked foods such as barbecue, sausages, roasted meat or blackened fish. Try it with cow milk cheese such as tilsit or gruyère. For dessert, drink some of ERB's Porter with chocolate peanut butter cookies or toasted coconut cookie bars.
Try this beer with any of the house-smoked meats from Eel River Brewing Company's Taproom and Grill in Fortuna, CA such as the tri-tip sandwich or the pork spare ribs! For dessert, pair it with an ice cream sundae or turn it into a beer float.
