We love our porters and we love our spicy food! So we had to brew this... Combining a rich complex malt bill with the bitterness and aroma from lots of Cardamon & Coriander & no hops, to create a porter rich in body, super smooth & brimming with character. Perfect with a hot spicy dish.

(Keg at Angleterre, 20170626) The beer poured black. Its head was small and lightly brown. Aroma had liquorice, cough mixture and sweetness. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were sweetness, liquorice, saltiness, burnt malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet, burnt and bitter. The taste was nice but the aroma was off-putting.

Tap at Pivni; York. Black beer. The cardamom is immediately noticeable, prominent, and makes the beer. It is in the flavor and the aroma,roasted malt that has a flavor of burned toast in the end. Medium palate. Served maybe a little too cold but a good porter. I love cardamom in beer, it reminds me of Pannepot.

330ml bottle shared with Finn at The Old House. Bubbly, patchy surface to a deep rosewood coloured body. Roasted malty nose with liquorice and dark berries. Blended flavour profile of black malts, dark berries and oat. Mid-sweet malty finish. Satisfying (Hull 26.11.2015).
