Black Marlin Porter

Black Marlin Porter
(Dark, creamy, velvet smooth American style Porter served on Nitrogen- we brewed this beer because we couldn’t find it anywhere else!)

Porters are a style of beer that developed in London in the mid 1800’s. It has a confusing and difficult to sort out history. We know that some Porters began as a bartender’s blend of three ales that would be ordered as “three strands.” Breweries caught on to the popularity of the
blend and began to brew beers having the characteristics of the blend. This popular beer became known as Porter, because railroad porters were its biggest fans.

A typical London workingman’s meal of the time might have consisted of Porter, bread, and oysters (which were then considered to be lower class fare). As different styles of Porters developed, one of the most popular was dry porter, which emphasized the use of roasted barley. This type of Porter eventually became known as Stout. Today the use of roasted barley distinguishes Stouts from Porters.

Ballast Point Black Marlin Porter is a rich dark chocolaty Porter with a distinctive American hop character. It is nitrogen dispensed which gives it a creamy texture, thick head and a balanced flavor that is reminiscent of traditional British cask conditioned ales. It is a great beer to go with
hearty foods and is surprisingly one of the few beers that goes well with dessert. One of our favorite combinations here at Ballast Point is Black Marlin Porter with apple pie a la mode.den.
