When I formulated this old style of beer I had a smell of leather, hair on chest, me Tarzan, macho client in mind. How wrong I was proved to be. With a malty creamy fullness, smooth as silk with chocolate, mocca coffee undertones and a perceived light hop finish, Mac’s Porter has been described by the fairer sex as "hooligan juice", an "aphrodisiac" and plain old “lekker”. The result is a taste sensation where all the components are experienced as a whole while maintaining their separate entities. Although the beer appears to be black at first glance, it is in fact a translucent deep ruby that can only be described as sensuous. Despite this dark colour, it is surprisingly light in body With a combination of local pale and chocolate malt, imported winter wheat and crystal malt, this beer has no difficulty holding with a glass of the best cabernet next to a crackling fire during the winter. Ladies beware - Mac sneaks up on you as the evening lingers on and has not been described as hooligan juice without reason.
