Mad Brewing Holy Smoke

Mad Brewing’s Holy Smoke reimagines the classic English Porter with a pervasive yet balanced veil of wood smoke. The foundation is built on deep toasty and bready malts, delivering layers of milk chocolate and soft caramel. The smoke integrates seamlessly into the roasted grain profile, avoiding acridity while adding savory depth. Earthy hop notes provide a subtle counterpoint to the toffee sweetness, leading to a smooth, lingering finish. With an elevated strength of 6.2% ABV, the beer offers a more robust presence than traditional examples, maintaining a refined English character enriched by its evocative, campfire-like essence.
