Our robust Porter shows bittersweet flavors of coffee and dark chocolate. It has very complex malt character enhanced by yeast fruitiness.

Opaque black brown beer, small tan head. Softish dry palate. Rich malt, semi dry. Some lactose. A touch of Port Wine and Brandy give this extra dimension. Semi dry finish. Interesting, rich and tasty.
A repeat at the 2014 GBBF. Wildly left field porter with flavours of lavender, spice, perfumey herb and a little spice induced warmth. Interesting stuff.
