Porter is the oldest commercially brewed style and London Porter was Emerson’s first beer. Dark, dry and mellow with some hoppy characteristics, pours a deep brown colour with reddish tints. The aroma is toasty, with a hint of sweetness and some earthy hop notes. Firm-bodied but not heavy, with a creamy texture, the dryish palate is full of roasted malt, coffeeish notes and a sustained bitterness.
Aromas of bittersweet chocolate, dried fruits, and bold coffee-and-cream flavours balanced by soft roasted-malt bitterness. Awarded World’s Best Milk Stout in the 2020 & 2022 World Beer Awards and World’s Best Stout & Porter at the 2019 World Beer Awards.
Stoke Dark is brewed using Nelson’s finest organic hops, our own bespoke yeast, 14,000 year-old Palaeo water and nothing less than a blend of six hand-selected malts.
