Scaldy Porter
Scaldy Porter is a robust porter of 5.5% and one of the first beers Whiplash released in 2016. Chocolate, aromatic, smoked and brown malt make up the dark part of the grist. Chocolate stands at the centre of the flavour, accompanied by roast and a light smoky note. At 61 IBU the bitterness is firm for the style and clearly noticeable next to the sweetness of the grain, which gives the beer a more assertive profile than milder examples of its kind.
