On Sunday, March 1, 1896, the Cochecho River had a major flood. This flood was so substantial that it destroyed several bridges and buildings in downtown Dover alone and closed the river to major shipping forever. The media dubbed this day "Dover's Black Day." We make our porter similar to the traditional style with a large amount of chocolate malt and some dark crystal malt for just a hint of deep toffee sweetness. Low hop aroma with a fair amount of flavoring and bittering hops to round out the dark chocolate and roasted barley flavors.
