Imperial Orange Porter 19° (2016)

Porter might seem like a drab beer style, but despite that it was the dominant brew in the world on the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. Porter was being shipped to India well before India Pale Ale and its most hearty versions of Baltic and Imperial Porter were so popular in Scandinavia, Poland and Russian, that these Baltic countries were supplying oak and glue for Porter cask production. We therefore decided to pay homage to the good old Porter, however with a new twist. We brewed our Imperial Orange Porter from seven different malts, gaining a full, chocolate body, with a combination of traditional English and new American hops. Alongside the traditional orange peel we have used heavy doses of lemon and tangerine peel to give this brew a unique kick. Thanks to this strategy, typical dry roasted malts, earthy and citrusy hops are craftfully blended with slighty sweet oranges, which leaves a creamy mouthfeel similar to chocolate mousse. We believe that after a single glup, even a Cockney Porter will feel like royalty!
