The Kernel brewery in London is known for making delicious beer without following trends. Famous for their incredible 3% table beers and known for executing all beer styles with precision and quality, they truly are pioneers of the craft beer world. We had the privilege of having Jess over to brew a beer with us and we decided to nail the infamous style of London Porter together. Taking inspiration from recipes dating back to the mid/late 1800s we treated this style as if time had stood still. Recreating London water and using exclusively British ingredients were key in crafting this recipe, as well as using our house blend ale yeast for that distinct Stigberget’s flare (although technically lab yeast hadn’t yet made its way to England until the 1900s…) The final result is a distinctly rich beer full of character and flavour, and a testament to the cult status of both the London Porter and The Kernel.

Thanks omhper! Black colour, big beigeish brown fluffy/foamy head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is chocolate, some nutty tones, mild toasted elements with a bit floral hoppiness too. Flavour is chocolate, some toasted tones, floral and wooden hoppy bitterness with some mild roasted elements too. Pleasant. Nice chocolaty, roasted, coffeeish and somewhat floral bittery finish and aftertaste. Top notch!

Burk från SB. Opak svart vätska med medelhögt krämigt skum. Stora rostade aromer och smaker. Stor, rund och fyllig kropp, hårdrostad och lite kärv på bekostnad av smootness. Kaffe, torv, tjära, bitter choklad, fudge och massor av saltlakrits. Maffigt och gott

440ml can. Pours black with a huge tan head. Aroma of strong roast malts, coffee, dark chocolate. Taste is also dominated by roast malts, ashy, dark chocolate, some caramel, coffee and also hoppy bitterness lingering in the finish. Medium bodied, smooth. A fantastic porter. As you'd expect with Kernel involved in what is an extraordinarily rare international collab for them.

awesome roasted malts and coffe aroma. not sweet, dry, dry.

Flavor is about the same. lots of roasted malts and lots of coffee. tons of flavor for a 6% abv and nearly no bitter caramel or other off flavors. Especially when it was cold, it was a beast, warming up i did get a tiny bit of bitter caramel, which i don't like much. This is a really good beer. when cold it's the best.
