Sampled between ratebeer and brewver, so didnt take extensive notes. F>or sure, this one is gonna get higher rathings than the regular porter. To me though, the bourbon overtook to much of the beautifully crafted, but milder intense porter. Hence I prefered the regular one myself.

Sampled in between Ratebeer and Brewver, so not much specific notes. This one is brewed like an English IPA, but hopped with American and UK hops, to the hopping rate of a US style pale ale, and showcasing the typical Halcyon Malts from the UK. very balanced beer ( such is the specialty of Brochus ) . very nice !
