Beer recipe - English Porter
| ABV 5.2% | Colour 60 EBC | Bitterness* 28 IBU |
Description
A style of beer born in London in the first part of the 18th century. It was widely consumed in pubs in the city and its outskirts by workers and soon gained popularity. It has a moderate alcohol level, dark brown colour, notes of caramel and chocolate typical of the style, as well as light herbal notes of classic English hops.
