THIS BEER IS
An avalanche of cross-continental hop varieties give this porter a complex spicy, resinous and citrusy aroma, with a huge malt bill providing a complex roasty counterpoint. Digging deeper into the flavour draws out cinder toffee, bitter chocolate and hints of woodsmoke.

BREWER'S TIP
Mash in at a higher temperature to leave more unfermentable sugars in the wort. This gives the beer a sweeter porter profile.
