Recipe 1 of Porter (and the first brew in our system!) was truly awesome. In this version we brought the original gravity down a touch but kept the malt ratios the same to create a softer and less alcoholic finished beer. Pours smooth and creamy creating a dark brown to near black beer that glows around the edges with amber highlights beneath a dense milk chocolate and mocha colored foam. The aroma is alive with fresh brewed coffee, a touch of dark caramel, chocolate, fresh cookies and tootsie roll. The deep rich flavours are matched with a delicate hopping that provides a balancing bitterness creating an easy drinking, light to medium bodied Porter with a clean, slightly roasty finish.
