A truly spellbinding Porter with a touch of magic that even muggles will appreciate.
Layers of smoky malt, roasted coffee, and chocolate blend like a perfectly cut trim, with hints of molasses, raisins, and liquorice adding real depth.

The first of twelve hairstyle celebration beers in 2026 by Hydes, obscure to say the least, but it's an excellent start. This is a very smooth porter, silky in the palate, clear brownish-red with a smooth head, and lovely dryish chocolate notes in taste. More conventional in aroma but decent here too.
