Northern Night is our take on a session porter. We designed it to be balanced yet complex, with flavours of ginger cake, chocolate and sweet malts. A true winter beer for the cold months. Wrap up, stay warm and enjoy.

Handpull cask at Broood, Leicester. Mid- to dark brown, very translucent with a small bit of cream-coloured head. Ginger aroma with cherry and light malty notes. Taste is sweet and overpowered by ginger. Weak body, but the chocolate fudge notes in the aftertaste make up for it. I like the beer, and for me the ginger really works, however I suspect that there may be a somewhat dull porter lurking beneath.

Keg @ Microbar, Manchester. Brown with a slightly off-white creamy head. The ginger within is light, and there's not a huge amount of 'porter' character to be found, but it's a pleasant enough dark ale.
