7 is our lucky number, a different grain for each of the Gan Yam founders, if you will. This is a broody, rich and deliciously dark porter with hints of bourbon, dark chocolate and a subtle toastiness. Perfect for a winter evening.

Can from the brewery online shop. Pours dark brown with a thin tan head. Aromas of liquorice, tar, leather, smoke, coffee, dark chocolate. Taste is a little thin, but has most of the expected components. Chewy leathery finish. Nice.
