Description:
Christmas Special. A vanilla and chocolate porter aged on French oak and rested on organic cocoa nibs and Madagascar vanilla pods.
Like velvet on the tongue - chocolate, coffee and dark caramel - it pours heavy with a very thick, dominating head. The aroma is strong dark chocolate with subtle notes of coffee and vanilla. The lactose and vanillin (from the oak) beautifully round the flavours together. A little thin and bitter, like a porter should be, this leaves a slightly roasted coffee bean sensation. After swallowing this soft bitterness gives way to a long lasting vanilla coating on the palate. 15.4°
Small caveat - each bottle (4100) has been hand tied and waxed by our brewery staff. You have to unwrap every bottle (like an xmas present) to get inside. ;)
