Panela is the result of our collaboration with the exceptional Pura Panela, a Sheffield based company specializing in sourcing Panela from Colombia. This natural, dehydrated juice is derived from sugar cane through a rustic, artisanal process. We’ve combined it with high-quality Colombian coffee adding both to our Classic Porter recipe, creating a complex and layered beer with a phenomenal flavour profile.

Note: Cask version is 5%ABV

A colablack beer, a head is medium and beige. Aroma has lots of back coffee, roastiness, real. Taste has black coffee, some balancing caramel, roastiness. Medium bodied. For coffee lovers, coffee haters propably would not like this.

Can. Clear deepish brown beer, decent bubbly tan head. Airy palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Light bodied dark malts. A nice malt cream with smooth flavoursome coffee, a mellow earthyness. Touch of fruity coffee. A fairly light finish. Doesn't have huge amounts of depth but, does what it does very well..

Can picked up at the brewery. Clear very dark chestnut brown. Slim sticky beige finish. Nose has earthy milky coffee. Light roast. Bit of burnt toast. Taste is semi sweet with a dry and earthy bitterness. Drinks well under the 7% as per most Thornbridge bevs. Earthy bitterness to finish. Good gear. Could fancy it more on cask though probably.
