Porter & Stout

SEASONAL RELEASE

Extended barrel ageing, multilayered chocolate infusions before and after the barrel, with flavours and aromas of dried fruit, vanilla, and bourbon. This jet black pastry stout is a very special release and a labour of love. A love note to Evan, from George.

Packaged in a 750ml bottle so you can share with your mates, or cellar and age.

We?ve joined forces with the OGs of soft serve ice cream to bring you a double release collab combo. All the chocolate; cocoa husk + cacao nibs + cocoa powder, blended with vanilla, and brewed into a deliciously smooth and luscious pastry stout. It's more ice cream than beer baby.

The Monk?s Stout Dupont is part of the Brewery Dupont?s history. Indeed, it was produced in the 50?s. The aim was to revive this stout while maintaining the name and the design of the time.
Re-created in 2011, this dark beer is characterized by a dry and bitter taste. The use of roasted malts lends a well-pronounced taste of coffee and chocolate. The hop flavours remain perceptible though.

This is our medal winning Roaring 40's Robust Porter.  We love a good porter for its richness but don't like a harsh roast bitterness; we avoid this by building the malt profile with nearly a dozen malts to create a rich roastiness with minimal bite.  Carbonated and Nitrogenated for a rich smoothness.

Havana has been fighting the good coffee fight since their Cuba Street days, back in 1989. That's even longer than our good beer fight. So, this "about bloody time" collaboration is well earned. Deep, dark brown in colour, smooth and creamy in texture, with a sweet, caramelised taste, complemented by just a hint of bitterness. Plus, of course a hit of coffee to finish. Happy 35th birthday, big brother -viva la revolucion.

Porter is the oldest commercially brewed style and London Porter was Emerson?s first beer. Dark, dry and mellow with some hoppy characteristics, pours a deep brown colour with reddish tints. The aroma is toasty, with a hint of sweetness and some earthy hop notes. Firm-bodied but not heavy, with a creamy texture, the dryish palate is full of roasted malt, coffeeish notes and a sustained bitterness.

Happy Birthday, Richard Emerson. Our founder, the godfather of craft brewing in New Zealand, has turned 60. To honour the great man, we brewed him Richard LX. Our classic London Porter, aged in whisky barrels for four months. 

This is a love letter to Dublin, from 19,140 km away, in Dunedin. Written in Ireland's beautiful mother tongue: Stout.
First, a serenade of coffee flavours and toasty notes, before tenderly giving way to a delicate bitter, dry finish, that will leave you longing for more.
