Summer Porter. A left field version of our Henchman Porter. It breaks the rules to get the job done. Acid malt, Marynka and dry hopping with Wai-iti turn a winter warmer into a summer refresher.

Tasting at Leighton’s Flat. Thanks to Fergus. Almost opaque deep amber - brown beer, good pale tan head. Airy palate, decent fine carbonation. Mild dark malts. A distinct bramble fruity thing going on. Fairly tangy. Light dry finish. Pleasant.

Bottle thanks to Fergus. It pours deep brown with a thick tan head. The nose is toasty, cocoa, dark fruits, jammy, dark chocolate and roasted malt. The taste is tart berry, roasted malt, earth, coffee, sour and some acidity with a dry, fruity finish. Medium body, high carbonation and foamy mouth-full. A touch of infection kicking in perhaps. OK.

Bottle shared at Leightons pre Christmas tasting. Chestnut brown / reddy coloured pour with a lasting cream / grey coloured head. Aroma is nutty choc malts with a little berry and bramble fruits. Some powdered choc on the nose as well. Flavour is composed of tart berry fruit, cherry, slight infection. Spritz carbonation, a little sour, little chalky, . Attacks the tongue a little bit. Lingering choc powder and berry fruits. Good job we had this one fairly fresh, in a couple of months it will be undrinkable.

Bottle shared in London. Thanks to Fergus. Pours red-brown with a large, frothy beige head. The nose holds well toasted bread, hints of berries and dirt. Light sweet flavor, a little tangy, some beat leather, tart berries, earth. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Moderate roast on the finish with sturdy tart blackberries, more earth, more leather. Perhaps a little infection is taking hold here.
