Superior- Imperial Porter | ABV: 8%
Legend Of: Lake Superior – Great Lakes Area
Cold, deep, and unforgiving, Lake Superior has claimed more than 350 ships over the centuries. Sudden gales, towering waves, and blinding fog turned the lake into a graveyard of schooners and freighters — none more famous than the Edmund Fitzgerald, lost to a violent November storm. In Superior’s icy depths, many wrecks remain eerily preserved, silent reminders of a lake where beauty and danger coexist.
Smooth, bold, and dark as Superior’s depths, this imperial porter weaves together layers of chocolate, toasted malt, caramel richness, and a gentle tide of toasted coconut that adds warmth and texture. A sturdy backbone of specialty malts creates a full, velvety body, while subtle dark fruit notes echo the cold, quiet mysteries beneath the lake’s surface. Deep, steady, and enduring — a beer built with the same gravity as the stories that haunt its namesake waters.
Tastes Like - Rich cocoa, roasted malt, toffee, warm toasted coconut, subtle dark berry, and a smooth, warming finish with layered depth.
