A porter made with 6 different malts but no crystal malt. Dark with coffee and roasted malt flavours and a slight sweetness to balance the malt and hop bitterness

Made especially for Ally who has always liked dark beers and after years of exposure to Houblon’s taste for ridiculously hoppy, light coloured beers has come round to liking them too. But she has never really liked the brown beers in the middle with that have a kind of malty taste. We suspect Crystal Malt as being the provider of that taste so this is Houblon’s ever-evolving porter with the crystal malt swapped out for some chocolate wheat malt. The result is a better more complex beer.
