Export India Porter

Описание

During the 1800s Britain famously exported Pale Ale to its colony in the Indian subcontinent. The IPA was so popular that brewers started brewing variations for the domestic market. Contrary to popular belief, it was probably Porter that was actually exported to India in the largest quantities. Our recreation of this style uses Pale, Brown and Black Malt to give a deep mahogany colour and restrained but pleasant roasted flavour. English Fuggles hops were used is large quantities, as would have been the case in the 19th century. Aged in oak casks for 5 months with our mixed culture of yeast and bacteria the beer has developed a unique fruity flavour unlike any modern day Porter. Expect flavours of cherry, earthy bitterness, oak, under ripe plumbs and burnt blackberries.
