Fulton Cold Press Porter

Fulton Cold Press Porter. 6.4 % ABV. 30 IBU.

Brewed and packaged by Fulton Brewery, Minneapolis, MN.

Nearly black, thoroughly opaque, lush tan head. Looking very nice.

In the nose: Cream and coffee, with cocoa on the side.

In the mouth: Starts out smooth, creamy, coffee-ish. Slightly sweet and fruity. Gets bolder over time. Medium to full body, nice and malty.  Darkness dominates, but balance is in command. Coffee taste continues, holds dominion over the porter. Excellent drinkability, wonderfully flavorful.

A more properly balanced Porter out there? We think not. Built on a base of Pilsner and Munich Malts, our Porter also combines Chocolate and Caramel malts (amongst others) to create a harmonious and symbiotic relationship that's easily appreciated. It's complex yet refreshingly easy to drink as we think you'll agree. For the 2018 Holidazzle, we enhanced our delicious Porter with the addition of Cold Press coffee from our friends at Big Watt. The result- flavors of chocolate, coffee, caramel and roasted malt.
