A strong core belief that we hold here at Polly’s is that although we’ll always be flagbearers for pale and hoppy beers, we know we’ll never be the best brewery in the world if we can’t produce more than just the beers from our trusted and well-trodden path. With a short throttle back in the brew plans considered, we found we had a little bit of extra tank time for our beers, and with that the idea of putting a baltic porter into our plans. A curious style that has long evaded us until now, we really loved the idea of lagering a strong, dark beer to create something that drinks much smoother and crisper than the dark beers we’d done before. Resting fresh cacao nibs on this beer for an extra level of complexity, Sable is everything we love about an imperial stout but in a much more accessible package. Perfect for bridging winter into spring and warming ourselves up with on those colder evenings we can still catch at this time of year.

440ml can. Good drinking on a Saturday afternoon. Just a tad too sweet for a higher overall score. (Tromsø, 02.05.2026).
