Great Lakes Brewing Co: Edmund Fitzgerald
Great Lakes Brewing Company's Edmund Fitzgerald porter provides a beer drinking experience deeper than Lake Superior. The list of flavors you'll find in the depths of this dark brine is matched only by the ledger of awards it has amassed. Caramel, smoke, coffee, and chocolate all make featured appearances, but more subtle are traces of oak, licorice, and ripe juicy fruits. With such a complex flavor profile, Edmund Fitzgerald is surprisingly refreshing and easy to drink, not at all out of place as the warmer spring months approach. Sink it deep by the bottle in the finer staterooms of Philly.
