From the Brewer – “The Mikkeller Porter is brewed at Amager Bryghus, bottled in half liter bottles and adorned with another label by American artist Keith Shore. This porter might be the most delicious beer Mikkeller has brewed in 2011. So soft, smooth, sweet and black, so inviting, delicate and habit-forming we are having second thoughts even releasing it. If you go just half as crazy as the people who have already tried it we will have a massive addiction epidemic on our hands. Mikkel even suggested drinking the whole batch himself, because as he said, Porter is so good it hurts him to see other people drink it. After some consideration we have decided to release it in one month.”
From the Brewer – “Ruddy brown in color, a bittersweet balance of malt and hops with a light cream finish.” Dedicated to the chocolate lover in each of us. Mocha Porter was once known as New Porter, in honor of the town of Newport, Oregon and home of Rogue Ales.
