Malt Capone
Roasted coffee, bourbon vanilla and dark chocolate on the nose, then a soft attack that builds into cocoa, toasted rye and a measured bourbon warmth, closing on a slightly smoky warmth. A Robust Porter, deep black with mahogany glints, with Herkules and Hallertauer Hersbrucker kept in the background. It first ran from 2014 to 2021 and came back reworked as a run of 300 bottles. The name tips a hat to Prohibition's most famous bootlegger.
