The Garden Vanilla & Chocolate Porter 330ml Can
A vanilla and chocolate porter aged on French oak and rested on organic cocoa nibs and Madagascar vanilla pods. Like velvet on the tongue - chocolate, coffee and dark caramel - it pours heavy with a very thick, dominating head. The aroma is strong dark chocolate with subtle notes of coffee and vanilla. The lactose and vanillin (from the oak) beautifully round the flavours together. A little thin and bitter, like a porter should be, this leaves a slightly roasted coffee bean sensation. After swallowing this soft bitterness gives way to a long lasting vanilla coating on the palate. 15.4° Small caveat - each bottle (4100) has been hand tied and waxed by our brewery staff. You have to unwrap every bottle (like an xmas present) to get inside. ;) Malts: Pale Ale Malt Chocolate malt Beech Smoked Malt Lactose Caramalt Hops: Magnum Northern Brewer Perle 2013 Additions: 2.5 kg french oak 12kg Cocoa nibs 200 vanilla beans
