Lake Superior Porter Review

So back in July I brewed up another batch of my Lake Superior Porter.  This beer is one of my favorite recipes and if you like Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald Porter, you’ll love this recipe, they are very very similar.  The beer has been delicious for sometime now and I think it’s even gotten better over the past couple months.

Lake Superior PorterOn the right is a fresh pint of this tasty porter.  The nose is rather roasty, some hints of chocolate and bittersweet.  The flavor is a nice dose of roasty, chocolaty malts and finishes with just a bit of earthy hop flavor dancing among the lingering roast malt.  The carbonation is moderate and body thick enough but not too thick.

So if the temperatures by you aren’t bone chilling cold or you’re boiling in the kitchen, brew up this fantastic porter today!  I promise it won’t disappoint.

Lake Superior Porter Brew Day

Since supplies are running low in my basement, it was time to brew my 2nd batch in as many weeks.  Today I brewed up a recipe available in the BeerEasy Member’s section, my Lake Superior Porter, with a couple new wrinkles to the recipe.  It was a hot and humid day so I got an early start before things got unbearable.

Below are a few snap shots of the brew kettle, before the boil and  during the boil.  The recipe tweaks for this batch were to increase the chocolate malt to 1.0 lb and increase the Crystal malt to 0.75 lb.  The brew day went very smoothly!  I think the smell of a porter or stout wort might be my favorite!
