Venn Batch 93 London Porter

Venn Batch 93 London Porter. 7% ABV. 29 IBU. Venn Brewing Company, Minneapolis, MN.

Deep dark, roasty brown head, leaving a little lace.

In the nose: lightly bittersweet, minor hops, major malt. Chocolate, caramel, just sweet enough.

In the mouth: classic, clean, smooth and malty. Just enough hops for balance. Medium-bodied and tasting terrific.

That's all I got, but that's enough. Good porter, and you can drink it. Time after time, they prove it. These guys know what they're doing.

Roasty, dark chocolate, dark fruit. An upsized version of a typical British-style Porter.


Malts: Stout Malt, Flaked Oats, British Chocolate, American Chocolate, Pale Chocolate, Caramel 20, Honey, Extra Dark Crystal.
Hops: Warrior, Willamette.
Yeast: British Ale.
