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.

Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - dark brown to black with not much carbonation. Looks like HP stout. Nose - freaky. It smells like HP sauce too. Blueberry and blackberry. Very tangy. Chocolate at the end. It is a porter after all. Taste - milk chocolate, blackberry. Palate - medium bodied with a creamy texture and a balanced finish. Overall - really complex and tasty.

Bottled 330ml. -from www.beershop.hr Almost black coloured, minimal off-white head, interesting nose; some herbs and toffee. Light roasted malt, pretty strong cardamom, light coriander and some herbs (mint maybe) with notes of caramel in the finish. My thoughts are divided about this one, not sure if I’ve liked it or not. I hope I’ll have chance to (re)rate it again. So till than...

Clear deep amber beer, residual pale tan head. Palate is light with mild fine crispy carbonation. Mellow dark malts, trace of dark chocolate. The cardomon integrates well with the mild dark chocolate, it gets almost minty. Light semi dry finish. Tasty and drinkable.

Bottle. Beer Central, Sheffield. Clear, very dark red. Halo of tan head. Chocolate. Dried fruit. Taste is Demerara sugar sweet, first off. Some dryness. Starts off good, in fact, but the palate is thin, and the finish doesn’t happen.
