Brewferm English Porter Beer Kit 12L

A characterful, malty, and smooth ale

This Porter stands out through the use of dark malts that provide roasted complexity without the burnt bitterness sometimes found in Stouts. The mouthfeel is silky, marked by notes of brown caramel and liquorice, supported by a discreet but essential hoppy bitterness. It is a comforting beer that develops its full roundness after a few weeks of bottle conditioning.

Tips Experts :

FAQ Flash :

• How does it differ from a Stout? Porter is generally smoother, less "burnt," and more focused on caramel and chocolate notes than Stout.

• Why only 12 litres? This is the optimal volume to guarantee a dense concentration of roasted flavours using the 1.5kg extract base.
