Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald (ABV 5.8%) is a flavorful porter, deep brown in color, with glints of ruby and a small tan head. Complex, roasty aroma heralds a bittersweet, chocolate-coffee taste and a bold hop presence. Robust and drinkable, it is named for the great ship that tragically sank in Lake Superior in 1975 with many Northeast Ohioans on board. 12 oz bottles.
