The beer was conceived in November 2010, when Matt Gorecki, the owner of North Bar in Leeds and five of his best friends made the trip to the BrewDog brewery in Fraserburgh in Aberdeen for his stag party.

The stag party made beer with BrewDog’s help and produced a 6.2% renaissance Baltic porter, that was named after Gorecki’s then fiancée (now wife) Alice Porter.

Originally no plans to brew the beer again once it was finished, the public response to the vanilla infused beer with hints of chocolate and cinnamon proved very persuasive and Alice Porter has now become an international phenomenon!

Can at home. I followed the Brewdog suggested method of preparing the can and for my efforts both I and the kitchen were spattered with beer. It did not put me in the best of humours! Lots of vanilla and coffee on the nose, but only the coffee remained in the taste. Odd. This was my first nitro beer and it resulted in an silky mouthfeel that I am not sure I enjoyed.

Creamy beige head stayed impeccably on a jet black still body. Big malty aroma with bitter coffee, bitter chocolate, & dark fruits. Initial roasted tastes of burnt cigarette, coal & ashes followed quickly by a mellow creamy taste of lactose, milk chocolate & then a tangy, bitter citrus finish.
