Is a multi-award winning, champion beer and a fitting tribute to Finn a character famed for his hospitality and brought to life in the story of Beowulf. Our porter is as it should be:~ inviting, dark and smoky, hoppy and not too sweet. The kind of ale that invites one to linger.

Bottled. A pitch black beer with a brown head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt and a bit of soy sauce. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, soy sauce, roasted malt, bread, and a bit of spices, leading to a dry spicy finish.
