Chuck a bag of choccy bullets in a saucepan and simmer ’em down. The resulting rich, chocolatey, licorice liquid wouldn’t be too far away from tasting exactly like The People’s Elbow Imperial Porter from us and our mates at Hop Nation Brewing Co.Dive a bit deeper and you’ll come across flavours of tobacco, raisin and vanilla with a firm bitterness and a light roast character. In the brewhouse we tried to steer close to tradition with the addition of molasses in the kettle then finished the wort off with a healthy dose of a new experimental Yakima Chief hop called HBC520. Fermented clean and low with Nottingham and let it condition for a good couple of weeks prior to packaging.
