This English Porter has dark English style malts in it to give a roasty malt character and it has a pleasant hint of vanilla in it. This is a tasty dark beer for the cold nights of winter but at 5% it isn't too boozy to drink in any season!

No one wants just a lump of coal, it can’t be called a treat.
The coal we’re told does not pour well, and isn’t good to eat.
This beer is just as black as coal, in fact as black as pitch.
It tastes much better than them both, a flavour deep and rich.
On winter nights so cold and dark, one tends towards malaise.
This might help you with your mood.
Happy f*#kin’ holidays!

Pouring the same colour as rich, dark chocolate this decadent spin on a porter leverages the natural roasted flavours from a variety of specialty malts. With generous additions of vanilla and local sea salt, the toast and intense chocolate of the malt makes this brew reminiscent of a salt finished chocolate tart.

Like its non barrel aged counterpart, this Imperial Stout has bold chocolate notes that are balanced with a hint of cherry and a creamy , smooth finish. The uniqueness comes from notes of vanilla, berries, and dark fruit that have been imparted by Valley Commons Cabernet Sauvignon French oak barrels.
