We get round to the dark stuff.
Alternative Currency. Our take on an important style. An East India Porter weighing in at 5.7% abv.
Glorious Porter aromas and flavours of charred toast, breakfast coffee and roasted cacao nibs mingle amongst our signature lush mouth feel, apricot esters and a precise and punchy dry hop of Amarillo and ekuanot."
