Crosby's Kitchen & CocktailDue South Cafe Ole Espresso Porter

The creaminess of the flaked oats and the bite of the roasted barley blend to make this a smooth, flavorful beer. Before being sent to the keg, a generous pour of fresh, local espresso is added. Lighter and more complex than a stout, this porter has much to offer. Interesting Fact: Porter as a style, was first identified in 18th century English pubs. The ingredients made it possible to produce this beer for less cost than a stout, so these beers were named for "the help" (the porters). Stouts were generally made for the wealthier people. Traditionally, a stout uses grains which give it a more roasty flavor, whereas a porter usues malts which impart sweeter chocolate or caramel notes. Stouts are known for a fuller body, whereas the porter generally has a lighter mouth feel.
