http://www.kulshanbrewery.com/beer-staging/porter/ AROMA: Roasted Barley, Cocoa, Subtle Coffee BODY: Medium MOUTHFEEL: Brown Porter that doesn’t over power, rich in flavor but light on the tongue FLAVOR: Soft Silky Roast, balanced dark malts provide a touch of coffee, Cocoa, and toffee VISUAL: Black Mahogany, Garnet in the Light Yeast: WYEAST 1056 – American Ale Kulshan Porter is brewed in the Brown Porter style. Deep mahogany in color, the beer is topped with a rich mocha-colored head. The roasted barley aroma is accented with notes of coffee and chocolate. The flavor is smooth and silky with roasty-toasty grains blended with coffee, chocolate and a touch of toffee. The aftertaste is smooth and clean. Kulshan Porter is the perfect beer to pair with grilled meats, hearty stews and shellfish. Or try it with your favorite Bleu, Stilton or washed-rind cheese. For dessert, Kulshan Porter is just right with any kind of chocolate cake or a tart apple pie topped with a slice of cheddar and some ice cream. Brown Porter emerged as a favorite style in London is the 18th Century. Although there is some debate as to whether it derived from a blend of three styles or developed as its own distinct style, there is no doubt that it was the city’s favorite beer in the early 1800s. By the 1970s, the style had nearly disappeared, before being resurrected by American craft brewers.
