8 Wired have taken their best porter recipe and added a good measure of Bamberg Rauchmalz smoked malt. The smoke mingles beautifully with the rich, dark roasted chocolate flavours of the porter without being overpowering. Although it pairs extremely well with smoked seafood, barbeques, strong cheeses and hearty stews, its food friendliness isn’t limited to savouries; chocolate and caramel based desserts are great companions too! It really isn’t as crazy as it sounds.

Big? Neh. Piglet? Neh. Smoke? Some! Nice balance between meaty and ashy, not too smokey.. quite accessible for a wider audience, but I wouldn't mind some more smoke. Still a fairly tasty porter with some smoke. Sweet, hint of vanilla.

Alsof je een zwartgeblakerd stuk buikspek van de barbecue haalt en uitperst boven een glas. Heerlijk en waarschijnlijk niet gezond.

Wedzonka ogniskowo-o nie zaglusza porterowych nutek, czuc taka kawe mocno zaparzona i mocno palona, troszke owocow. Jest ok+, smukly, wytraw
