We like to brew a Porter for December, this time with a brand-new recipe. A deep brown hue with a multi-layered Crystal malt grain bill with a restrained splash of roasted malts. Peruvian cacao nibs steeped in the brew post-boil for a waft of chocolate.

500ml can. Poured a murky medium brown colour with a mostly lasting frothy off-white head. The aroma is roasty, cacao. The flavour is moderate sweet, light liquorice bitter, with a smooth, somewhat rich, roasty, earthy, dry light ashtray, light sweet chocolate, liquorice bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.
