Porter

Brewed another batch of Porter based on the last one I made but with a few revisions to the recipe. The goal with this Porter is to have the flavor reminiscent of a mocha coffee but without actually using chocolate or coffee and rely only on malts to achieve the flavor profile.

Mocha Porter
