Dougall’s India Imperial Porter

This Imperial-strength American Porter bridges the gap between classic dark ales and modern IPAs. A complex grist featuring Maris Otter, Light Munich, and English Chocolate and Crystal malts provides a deep foundation of cocoa, roasted nuts, and liquorice. The aggressive dry-hopping of Citra, Simcoe, and Ekuanot introduces vibrant layers of resinous pine, grapefruit, and herbal notes that cut through the malt richness. Despite its 8% ABV, the addition of oats ensures a silky, velvety texture, while the expert selection of specialty malts keeps astringency low, resulting in a balanced, surprisingly easy-drinking beer with a clean, dry finish.
