An effortlessly light porter. The thick shadow of roasted and caramel malts is enlightened up by the overall low final gravity and the crisp bitterness of Cascade hops. Meanwhile a juicy chocolate aftertaste is supported by the sturdy sweetness of rye malt and silkiness of oat malt.

Bottle shared thanks to sjogro. Hazy dark brown with solid beige head. Earthy roast, sweet chocolate, soft herbs, raw cocoa beans, rye, roasted grains and nuts, those weird herbs that taste like licorice and bit that restaurants put on your icecream. Solid medium sweet and dry bitter. Medium bodied, light creamy with slight dry finish. Pretty nice! 👍🏻
