What is a coal porter?

Porter is a dark ale with roasted malt character. The roast usually brings flavors people compare to coffee, dark chocolate, toast or a hint of smoke, and the beer is typically brewed to be smooth rather than sharp.

The name on this one points to the dark color you would expect from the style. It sits in the same family as stout, and the two overlap quite a bit. Porters tend to be a touch lighter in body and less intensely roasted than many stouts, though brewers vary.

If you want to compare, our dark beer section and the stout shelf are the places to look.

What else does Atlantic make that we carry?

Coal Porter is one of several Atlantic beers on our list. Alongside it, we carry ATLANTIC Cadillac Mountain, ATLANTIC LEAF PEEPING ALE and ATLANTIC BLUEBERRY ALE.

That gives you a way to try the brewery across styles. The porter is the dark, roasty option, while the other names suggest a different mood: a seasonal-sounding ale, a fruit-forward ale and a mountain-named beer. Open each product page for the details we list.

The full run of Atlantic beers we have lives on the Atlantic brand page, with our own top sellers from that brewery shown first and only what is in stock today.

How do you serve and pour a porter?

Serve porter cool but not ice cold. Straight from a very cold fridge, the roasted flavors can be muted. Pull it out ten or fifteen minutes before you pour, or aim for a cellar-like temperature, around 45 to 55 degrees Fahrenheit.

A pint glass or a tulip works well. Pour with a gentle angle, then straighten the glass so a modest tan head forms and releases the aroma.

You do not need special glassware. What matters more is that the beer is not so cold that it tastes flat.

What food goes with a porter?

Roasted malt pairs naturally with food that has been grilled, smoked or browned. Burgers, barbecue, sausages and roasted vegetables all suit a porter, because the beer echoes the char.

It can also work with sweeter things. Chocolate desserts, brownies or a bowl of vanilla ice cream are classic partners for dark beer, and some people pour a little over the ice cream.

For cheese, try sharper cheddar or smoked Gouda. The roast stands up to strong flavors better than a light lager would.
