The porter style takes its name from the dock workers and street laborers of London who favored the style in the days when it was first developed in the 18th century. In the spirit of these hardworking men, Bad Elmer personifies the hardy settlers of the rugged and heavily wooded land of the Norman and Crawford Uplands of southern Indiana. Bad Elmer’s Porter is a medium-bodied beer, brewed with lot of roasted malt, giving it flavors of coffee, liquorice, and chocolate. This porter is characteristically dark but extremely smooth.

    Pours opaque coffee with a fair buff head. Aroma delivers roast malt, molasses, and subtle coffee notes. Flavor provides roast malt, quality coffee, molasses and slight charcoal and chocolate tones. Texture offers fairly firm body and jazzy fizz. Get your bad on.

    From kinger: near black pour with little head nor lacing. Day-old weak black coffee aroma with a very slight sour and cocoa presence. Mouthfeel is just a tad thin, but still ok for a porter. Taste is again black coffee, well roasted malts, almost burnt toast, slight molasses and weak cocoa. Still a lot going on for a porter. Nice and easy. Flavorful. Thanks Cory for a well done, simple porter.

    Meddling between an English Brown Ale and a traditional Porter, I actually enjoyed this more than the score indicates. Soft and faintly buttery with a firm roasted malt profile. Mild and approachable.

    Pours a dark brown with faint ruby highlights and a small tan head. Aroma is mostly roasted malts and a bit of chocolate. Taste is similar--roasted malt and chocolate. Good albeit nothing special.

    A decent porter, enjoyable on the palate but nothing incredible. Pours a deep black colour with a small head, nice retention and a roasted malt flavor. Overall its tastey, but i think it has potential to be even better. :)

    Pours basically black with brown at the edges. The head is a light tan and forms easily and fades into a thin creamy layer. Thin flavor. There’s not a lot of chocolate, but it’s there. The aroma is actually a bit thin and a little metallic. The flavor consists mostly of a bit of char mixed with some cocoa. Not the most exciting of porters.
