Yannaroddy

Tap to rate

Dark roasted malt flavours run through the beer with an unexpected streak of coconut laced into them, and the profile stays light enough to drink at length despite the depth. The coconut sits low in the ingredient list and is easy to miss unless looked for. Yannaroddy is named after a field beside the original site of the brewery and was decorated gold in the porter class.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Yannaroddy

◎ Appearance

Deep mahogany to nearly black in color, reflecting the roasted character at its core. The beer presents with good clarity despite its dark hue, and forms a stable tan head with fine carbonation that leaves delicate lacing down the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with pronounced dark roasted malt—cocoa, coffee, and subtle char notes. A whisper of coconut emerges beneath, interwoven rather than prominent, adding an unexpected aromatic dimension that rewards close attention without dominating the profile.

◐ Taste

Dark roasted flavors anchor the palate—bittersweet cocoa and toasted grain form the foundation. The coconut thread carries through tastefully, neither sweetening nor overriding the malt backbone. Moderate bitterness from noble hops sits restrained at 25 IBU, allowing the malt complexity to lead while maintaining drinkability across extended service.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and relatively dry, with roasted malt lingering gently on the palate. Coconut notes fade quickly, leaving behind a straightforward porter character that invites another sip.

Serve at 10–13°C

Serve at 10–13°C. Too cold mutes the roasted complexity that makes a good porter worth drinking slowly.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink within 6–12 months for best results. Baltic Porters can be aged longer.

About Porter

What is a Porter?

Porters are dark ales with 4–6.5% ABV and IBU 18–35. Roasted malt brings chocolate, caramel and toffee — medium body with a clean finish.

Finding a similar Porter
