Brown Porter

Very dark brown but not black in colour with a fruity nose. This dark porter tastes fruity with a distinctive bitter after palate.

Originally brewed as 'something different' for a small beer festival. Now a favorite with a number of regulars and a winner of numerous Midland's beer competitions

A trademark beer of the Santa Fe Brewing Company’s master brewer, Ty Levis, the State Pen Porter has every reason to be one of his favorites. It is flavorful, swimming with notes of nuts and chocolate; it is drinkable, so drinkable that it is almost as if pint after pint were drinking itself.

This is our version of an 18th Century “Smoked Porter”. Our London Porter has a subtle accent of beechwood smoked malt, which comes through nicely in the aroma and the flavor. Brewed using seven varieties of premium European malted barley, this full-bodied beer is characterized by hints of chocolate and coffee, and balanced by a long-lingering hoppy bitterness.

In a style that generally focuses on malt alone, our London Porter is unique in its rich, smoky, peaty characteristics. It has earthy, grassy notes as well, courtesy of UK Goldings hops.

Full body, ruby black, very strong malt character, medium chocolate, slight coffee flavor, low perceived bitterness, well balanced, low - medium carbonation
