OUR MOST POTENT PORTER
by Farr (5.0%)

A labour of love for Nick, head brewer and founder at Farr Brew; this was the first beer he perfected when the brewery was formed and was runner up in Hertfordshire’s Beer of the Year 2015.

Six types of malt, old and new world hops, treacle and locally sourced honey from the bees that buzz around our barn and surrounding fields all combine to create a deliciously complex porter with a deep chocolatey nose, and a rich, fruity, perfectly hopped flavour.

Bottle courtesy of cgarvieuk dregs run. Appearance - dark brown to black and fairly opaque. Nose - toffee, molasses even. Brown bread. Taste - great toffee and hazelnut thing going on. General praline. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy yet tangy texture and a long elegant finish. Overall - this resembles a Scotch Ale.
