Our Tastes-- Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald
Even though I have had this beer shipped to me while I was The Rocket City chapter of TnDC many times, we savor and finally blog the enjoyment of Edmund Fitzgerald, or affectionately known to me as "Eddie Fitz". This porter ranks right up there with LeftHand's Black Jack Porter and of course my own BP! Almost an opaque, with a fine dissipating brown head. The sweet malt aroma is balanced well with hops that I can't identify over the wonderful chocolate taste. The 5.8% bevvy is "named after the ship that frequently docked in Cleveland and sunk in Lake Superior on November 10, 1975 with many Northeast Ohioans on board." I had already been born so there is no relation.
