India Imperial Porter
A black Imperial Porter with aromas that are herbal, floral and resinous, together with notes of cocoa, chocolate and liquorice. Nitrogen gives a creamier, lasting foam and a silky mouthfeel, and the finish is dry and silky. Eight malts are used, among them English Crystal and Chocolate to reduce astringency, and the hopping is like the brewery's most hopped beers, with Citra, Simcoe and Ekuanot dry hop. Brewed since 2022.
