Named for the goddess Zorya, who guards the dawn, opening the sky for the sun in the morning - according to Slavic folklore. This cask coffee porter opens the gates at sunrise and closes them at night. Zorya carries a balance: sweetness first, smooth chocolate and caramel, then dark malt & coffee.

Deep dark brown with a small bubbly off-white head and a big sweet coffee aroma. Fresh, sweet coffee and dark fruit, a touch of roasted malt and a slightly dry bittersweet finish.

Gravity cask at the Ale Pole, Daventry. Dark brown with an uneven ring of tan head. Coffee grounds aroma, some paper, some red grape. Sweet taste, more coffee with some sarsaparilla and light notes of Marmite. Medium body, very soft carbonation. All in all a bit muddled and not Shiny's best.
