THIS BEER IS
On the palate is a big dark malt sweetness, balanced by the blend of spicy Mittelfruh and citrussy Galena. Cocoa powder, rich dark chocolate, and ripe berries interplay with a toasty burnt sugar bitterness. The mouthfeel is thick and chewy with a treacly quality that doesn’t cloy, as it plays off against the hops and roast malt bitterness.

BREWER'S TIP
A good Porter is dependant on a long fermentation and cellaring process. Keep the temperature controlled as much as possible.
