We've revisited our second collaboration with Origin Coffee, and what a beauty. We took our base porter recipe, bumped up the ABV, and this year infused it with heaps of amazing Aponte coffee beans. The result is a beer full of depth, intrigue and coffee character.
Aponte coffee beans flavour notes: Nectarine, Tangerine, Brown Sugar
