Only
$92.99
Brewed by Hawkes Bay Brewing Co. in Napier, this beer follows an 18th‑century London-style with five different malts. A winter favourite, it benefits from extended maturation (some variants aged over 40 days) to deepen its flavour profile.
Appearance: Deep mahogany to black with reddish-brown highlights under light.
Aroma: Rich scents of toffee, burnt caramel, roasted coffee, dark chocolate—balanced malt-forward warmth

Palate: A complex but smooth interplay of caramel sweetness, roast coffee, and dark chocolate. The malt selection provides a toasty backbone with a slight bitterness up-front
Back-end: Gentle roasted/hoppy bitterness, not as heavy or full-bodied as some porters, making it more approachable

Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied with a smooth, clean finish—well-balanced and versatile enough to pair with food
Alc 5%
