American Toffee Porter
Very much like the name suggests, this is an American porter with dark chocolate flavours and a nice toffee/caramel hit. A pronounced bitterness is present from the addition of earthy floral hops, it is a great companion for a winter fire.
Food pairings: chocolate caramel brownie, braised red meats and grilled vegetables
