Porter

Porter is the English style dark beer. It is the slightly lighter version of the Stout. A porter should be dark in color, usually not black. It should range from sweet in the beginning to slightly bitter like dark chocolate. It can be creamy to nutty to chocolate. It may have a roasted or caramel or coffee undertone. It should not be too heavy or too dark or too chocolate. Basically, it can have a wide range of darker flavors but not be too intense.
