BB Porter

Tap to rate

Rich chocolate, toffee and coffee: fine bitter notes bring cascades of coffee and chocolate across the palate, while roasted malts, coffee and a hint of liquorice fill the nose. A full-bodied organic porter, deep black under a thick, creamy brown head. Hand-brewed and hopped with Chinook.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with roasted malt character, underpinned by pronounced coffee and chocolate notes. A subtle licorice thread weaves through, while Chinook hops contribute fine bitter and earthy undertones that prevent the sweetness from dominating. Moderate intensity and well-integrated complexity mark the aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

Chocolate and coffee dominate the palate in equal measure, arriving on a full-bodied, creamy mouthfeel. The mid-palate layers in roasted grain depth and a light dark-fruit sweetness, while measured bitterness from Chinook hops builds steadily across the tongue. Smooth texture balances the 7.2% ABV without heat, allowing malt complexity to express itself.
