Porter is a dark type of beer that comes from London and is made from the eighteenth century. It is a derivative of brown ale beers, made from brown malt with a lot of hops. The beer was called porter because the drink was very popular with street and river porters (in English porter).
Porter was the first beer to mature at the brewery and ready to drink straight away. It was the first beer that could be produced on a large scale. Before that time it was a strong beer with more than 6.5% alcohol. The beer smells of caramel, cappuccino or liquorice. The taste is sweet and slightly bitter.
Nowadays, the alcohol percentages of porters are often higher than that of stout beers.
