Torrent is a silky smooth, full bodied, all-malt porter. Made with pale, roast and caramel malts, you can expect some chocolate, coffee, smokiness and dried fruit with a little spiciness from the hops. The result is a balanced and satisfying porter. Cheers!

Cloudy deep brown with a decent beige head. Toasted malt, burnt bread, distant chocolate, Ale yeast traces. Floral hop. Rather dry. Decent ending bitterness. OK.

On tap at The Bierhouse, Cork. Dark brown, reddish hue, small creamy tan head. Aroma is fruity, cherry, some caramel notes but mostly tart fruit. Flavour is tart cherry, tart dried fruit, hints of toffee. Creamy, smooth, light body, abrupt tart finish, bland. Infection lightly kicking in.

On tap at Porterhouse, Dublin on 18th July 2025. Dark reddish brown with shallow, pale tan foam and scant lacing. Roast malt aroma. Tangy berry fruits and roasty malts in-mouth, and a finish of tangy citrus fruits over dark chocolate. Zingy mouthfeel, somewhat unusual for a porter, and a medium body.
