    "Our Brown Porter is a black, silky medium bodied ale with rich chocolate malt notes. We used English malt and hops and our Saint Arnold yeast that came from a brewery in England. Cheers!"

    From what I've heard, early batches of this were very tasty and yet clocked in as a sessionable low ABV beer. I'm not sure if the final product has a bumped up ABV or not. Maybe @awinkro or @gomezman78 can chime in with more details.

    I'll say this beer is fucking tasty. Brewer Dennis Rhee came up with this gem. Session-able, full bodied and drinks really well.

    Another beer I'm looking forward to. You guys have been knocking it out of the park with the Icon series. I love the availability of all the beers.

    Looking forward to it. Just a question though...isn't the name redundant? Aren't all porter's brown?
