Home Port is one of our recipemaker Willför’s first home brewing recipes, which pretty much has stuck in the same format since the beginning. To the style the beer is an old school British Porter, where the malts do most of the talking and the bitterness remains quite low, unlike the more modern porters. In the beginning the beer was meant for chill down moments after heavy days at work, but we have also figured out this one goes really well with the typical Finnish and Swedish Christmas food tables, but also with the Swedish traditional Porterstek (porter steak).

33cl bottle (part of a set of four bottles) bought onboard Aurora Botnia from Umeå til Vaasa. Pours dark brown, close to black, with a medium sized tanned head. Roasty aroma with chocolate, nuts, dark, dried fruits and hints of wood. Medium to moderate sweet with medium flavour intensity and a somewhat dry finish. Quite drinkable.

Bottle, thanks WillFörForBeer. Complex, creamy aroma. Chocolate, dark malt, tobacco, dried fruit, coffee, rye bread. Creamy taste, tobacco, roast, light plum, lean, light but soft and creamy. Vague citric and herbal hops hidden behind. A light sipper that benefits from a higher temperature and a slow, relaxed approach to it.
