Dry-hopped porter. Lots to dissect here. Our inclination is towards hop-forward beers, so we've created a more traditional porter recipe (fermented with a Belgian yeast strain), combined with what we know from IPA brewing. Banana, chocolate and herbal hoppiness from UK Olicana and USA HBC 638

Can. Light haze on this amber brown beer, small pale tan head. Light palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Thin malts, wishy washy dark malts, thin and watery chocolate. Some ripe fruits on the back end. Dry finish. The flavours are not bad but the palate is annoyingly thin and dry.

Rocky off white head on a dark brown body. Woody, conifer & herbal aroma. Medium bodied, smooth with a sharp back. Malt, chocolate, pine, citrus peel & lemon with a hoppy finish. Tastes more like a Cascadian IPA than a Porter - very good though.
