Church Brew Hazelnut Molasses Porter

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This porter is an American brown porter meaning that it is not as dark and rich as a British porter. We also used American hops from the Pacific Northwest instead of English Goldings and Fuggles usually present in this style o f beer. Black strap molasses was added during the boil to boost the gravity. Also, the molasses adds sweetness to the finished product. Lactose and pure hazelnut extract were added during the whirlpool. This helps balance the sweetness with a nice creaminess. The aroma of the beer is of chocolate and hazelnut. When you first taste the beer you will notice roasted sweetness and it will finish with a subtle taste of hazelnut. The hops were kept low so that bitterness does not outshine the creaminess of this beer. Details: Grain Used: Pale, Caramel, Munich, Chocolate, and Black Malt Hops Used: Palisade, Glacier, and Mt Hood Original Gravity: 14.2.P or 1.056 S.G. Hop Bitterness: 30 IBU’s
