A recipe we originally devised to celebrate opening BrewDog Brixton in the city which gave birth to the Porter style. Unfortunately the deal for the site fell through at the last minute, but we still wanted to make the beer.
Like the city it was born into, porter has never stood still for long – join us for a 21st century take on an 18th century classic.
This deceptive 5% ABV porter combines impressions of an imperial stout with the body of a brown ale. Chocolate, coffee, and ripe autumn fruit collide in this complex and contradictory session beer.
Challenging, vibrant, and packed with character, this is how a porter would taste if it were invented in the London of today – a porter for the craft beer generation.

Aroma of roasted malts, bread, coffee, chocolate. Flavour is roasty, coffee, leading to a nicely bitter finish.The low ABV makes this one a bit light on the palate. Very nice and quaffable Porter, sessionable even.

Tap at Brewdog Glasgow. Interesting. Umami. Dry, oaty, something strange. Chocolate, soft. Don't really agree with how they describe it on the menu, but find it surprisingly nice.

Poured into a mug, the appearance was an almost black color, dark brown mostly with a thin finger’s worth of white foamy head that dies off at a decent pace. Semi-thick rings of white foamy lace.
The aroma takes on roasty black coffee beans and grounds pulling in some light black licorice, roasty tones of sweet cocoa bean and then a light butterscotch.
The flavor boldly brings together all of those previously mentioned aromas together. Sweet with roast and a nice playful spice. Slow riding blended dark spicy to sweet cocoa aftertaste rolling into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Smoothness seems there but the spice from the black licorice seems to kick against the carbonation. Even the carbonation feels good but somewhat soft.
Overall, very nicely done porter that I would love to have again.
