This collaborative English Porter presents a modern, hop-forward twist on a traditional dark ale. Brewed in partnership with the Pink Boots Society, it balances a classic foundation of toasted biscuit and rich Chocolate malt with vibrant layers of citrus and tropical fruit. Deep mahogany with ruby glints, it offers an inviting bouquet of dark cocoa and caramel accented by bright, contemporary hop aromatics. The palate follows with a smooth interplay of toffee and light roast, while the distinct hop character provides a firm but integrated bitterness. It concludes with a clean, slightly dry finish that highlights its sessionable character.
