Porter has a storied past and was once the everyday beer of the English. A complex malt base gives chocolate, coffee and roasted flavours, and a medium-full body is balanced with a dry finish that aids drinkability. This recipe uses New World hops for bold tropical and resinous notes, providing a modern, hop-focused take on a style with a long history.

On tap at Cloud 9. Pours black with a dirty tan head that faded away. Aroma is roast malts, a little smoke, chocolate. Taste is quite a light roast malt, some chocolate, a little smoke and just a hint of pine hop. Decent porter.
