One of the most famous of WWII bombers, the B-17 was conceived by the then small Boeing Airplane Company in the mid 1930s. As the aircraft evolved through numerous models, thousands were built to serve with great distinction as a daylight strategic bomber. The aircraft is legendary for sustaining great damage, but still managing to bring its crew back home.
B-17s have been restored, some to flying condition, in the
United States and Europe. Brewed with Carastan, Caramel, Chocolate, Black, and
Special Roast Malts, the color of this ale is as dark as flak over a
target. Fortress Porter has as many hops as a grizzled veteran. This ale
will keep bringing you back for the subtle combination of sweet and bitter
flavors.
