Inspired by the classic London porters, we use dark roasted malts to create a deep, rich color and flavor that hint at chocolate and coffee. We named it Cutthroat Porter as our tribute to the Colorado state fish \u2013 with its own rich heritage and unmistakable dark coloring. And while we\u2019re big fans of small batches, here\u2019s to the currently threatened Cutthroat population reaching mass quantities.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/www.2beerguys.com\/images\/cutthroat.gif\" alt=\"Odell Cutthroat Porter bottle\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Details:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Style:<\/strong> Porter<\/li>\n<li><strong>ABV:<\/strong> 5.1%<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bitterness:<\/strong> 43 IBUs<\/li>\n<li><strong>Honors and Awards<\/strong><\/li>\n<ul>\n<li>Silver, Brown Porter, 2008, World Beer Cup<\/li>\n<li>Bronze, Brown Porter, 2006 Los Angeles County Fair<\/li>\n<li>Gold, Porter\/Stout, 2005 Stockholm Beer &amp; Whiskey Festival<\/li>\n<li>Bronze, Brown Porter, 2005 Los Angeles County Fair<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.2beerguys.com\/images\/forblog\/advent11\/billy-broas.jpg\" alt=\"Billy Broas\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Why I selected the Cutthroat Porter:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Odell dedicated this beer the Colorado state fish, the Cutthroat Trout. We love our beer and outdoors equally, and never hesitate to link the two.<\/p>\n<p>Cutthroat Porter certainly meets the criteria for the porter style &#8211; dark, lighter bodied, coffee and chocolate flavors. But it&#8217;s got that little something extra that lifts it above competitors who merely &#8220;check the box&#8221;. It&#8217;s that intangible quality that Odell brings to all of its world class beers.<\/p>\n<p>Cutthroat Porter goes down smooth and leaves you yearning for more. Wonderfully balanced and flavor rich, it satisfies your taste buds without delivering a knock out punch. You&#8217;re not gambling when you put down your money for this beer &#8211; it&#8217;s a sure thing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Billy Brew:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>illy&#8217;s internet beer residence is <a onclick=\"javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('\/outgoing\/www.BillyBrew.com');\"  href=\"http:\/\/www.BillyBrew.com\">BillyBrew.com<\/a>, where he talks about everything from craft beer industry trends to cooking with beer.<\/p>\n<p>He also teaches people how to brew beer at <a onclick=\"javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('\/outgoing\/homebrewacademy.com\/');\"  href=\"http:\/\/homebrewacademy.com\/\">The Homebrew Academy<\/a>.
