Stigbergets - Victorian Porter

Behind this beer The Kernel brewery in London is known for making delicious beer without following trends. Famous for their incredible 3% table beers and known for executing all beer styles with precision and quality, they truly are pioneers of the craft beer world. We had the privilege of having Jess over to brew a beer with us and we decided to nail the infamous style of London Porter together. Taking inspiration from recipes dating back to the mid/late 1800s we treated this style as if time had stood still. Recreating London water and using exclusively British ingredients were key in crafting this recipe, as well as using our house blend ale yeast for that distinct Stigberget’s flare (although technically lab yeast hadn’t yet made its way to England until the 1900s…) The final result is a distinctly rich beer full of character and flavour, and a testament to the cult status of both the London Porter and The Kernel. Tasting notes Smooth and rich with a dry finish. Rich dark coffee, roasted nuts, toffee, mild smoke and a delicate plum and apricot finish. Ingredients Golden Promise, Heritage British Crystal Malt, Black Malt, Amber Malt, Brown Malt, Chocolate malt, Fuggles, East Kent Goldings.
