New Helvetia Mystery Airship Imperial Chocolate Porter

Porter either ushered in -- or was the product of -- a period in early 1700s England when consumer tastes and preferences changed. Those tastes moved away from the astringent harshness of the brown and black malts in young, “mild” (freshly brewed) beer and the sour and staleness of aged beer – both of which had essentially been the only choices for centuries – toward a more balanced, middle ground of flavor.
