A drinkable platform to explore dark malt! The Blackstone Porter has ample body to support the flavours of chocolate and coffee derived from dark specialty malts. A surprisingly-quaffable session Porter, and the perfect companion to good conversation when the rain is lashing at the windows. Blackstone Porter is available seasonally during the colder months.

Near total blackness, with a thin head. Rich chocolate aroma shows sweetness and a hint of dark sugar complexity with lots of nuts and whole grain bread. Soft body, actually lighter than expected. Lots of chocolate and some bread. Cocoa. The palate is perhaps not as developed as the aroma but a good porter.

Pours black with a white head. Aroma of espresso and light chocolate. Flavour is very bitter chocolate, with a distastefully sour/acidic aftertaste. Wasn't a fan of this one.
