Barrel Aged Imperial Porter

Taste
Chocolate comes front and centre, mixing with complex orange zest and other mixed citrus. Rich sweet malt notes come through and are then balanced out by a distinctive smokiness from the barrels, before slowly fading into the classic elegant fruity notes of exotic Mezcal mixed with new world hops. A dry finish helps this slide down easy, perfect for either sipping on the trails or sharing with your resident cocktail guru as the night goes on.
