Twelve Days
Twelve Days is a strong dark porter that pours a deep red-brown, with the weight of a winter night. The malt backbone runs rich and full, carrying toasted grain and warming spice, with nutty tones that linger into the finish. Beneath sits a sweetness of dried fruit and sultanas that keeps the beer from turning austere despite its strength. A porter for the late evening or the hour after dinner, when a beer needs substance rather than refreshment. Drink it slowly, at cellar temperature.
