St. Peter's Honey Porter 4.5% ABV (12 x 500ml)

Product Information

Ed. Note: There's been a lot of buzz online recently about the recipe for the White House Honey Ale and White House Honey Porter, including a popular petition on We the People, the White House's online petition platform. Honey Porter 4.9%– Our sweet honey porter is brewed with real honey to give the perfect blend of a classic porter with a sweet finish. Porter is typically a rich, malty and deep flavoured beer and works well as a style to add additional flavours to. All sizes and measurements are approximate but we do try to make sure that they are as accurate as possible.

Malt: Typically, many porter recipes will be made of of an English or US base malt such as Maris otter or pale malt and then a variety of dark roasted malts and crystal malt. Yeast: Predominantly, neutral or medium ester producing ale yeasts are used for fermenting porter. S-04 and US-05 are common dry yeasts. Liquid yeast strains have a lot more options but mainly focused on British or US strains. aroma is on the sweetish side. honey is hardly detectable in the aroma, but it does have a nice maltiness about it. nothing outstanding about it though. With public excitement about White House beer fermenting such a buzz, we decided we better hop right to it. Records the default button state of the corresponding category & the status of CCPA. It works only in coordination with the primary cookie.If you were to use 1kg (2x500gs) of dry malt extract (DME) – the colour appropriate to the type of beer (see colour guide below), you will produce a beer slightly higher in ABV yet at the same time retaining its body. If you use 1kg of spitting Feathers’ brewing sugar you will produce a good quality beer with avg of 4.5 to 5% ABV. English porter recipes tend to include a percentage brown malt and some include roasted grains like roasted barley, sparingly.

As far as we know the White House Honey Brown Ale is the first alcohol brewed or distilled on the White House grounds. George Washington brewed beer and distilled whiskey at Mount Vernon and Thomas Jefferson made wine but there's no evidence that any beer has been brewed in the White House. (Although we do know there was some drinking during prohibition…) Cromwell Best Bitter 4.4%– Our Cromwell best bitter is a local favourite. A deep amber colour with a rich malt finish. It’s a best bitter for a reason. Larger having said that, the balance of this brew is all over the place. it has dark ruby/ mahogany colors and a lacy off white head which looks a little out of place with a beer that is dark. the nose has a gentle roasted touch, with massive blasts of honey and fruity hops. you can really smell the apple orchards of tassie in there. problem here is in the balance of the flavours. theyve gone a bit too full on trying to take a porter and give it an edge. too heavyhanded on the honey which often overpowers the beer. you have to drink this chilled, so this is kept under control. unfortunately, porters are at their best warming up. they also have this nice new hop which they are also trying to bring to the fore, but it doesnt compliment everything else they are trying to do here. the hop has a fine balance of bitterness and aroma, but its application here is a little amiss. the addition of honey and new hops totally takes the focus off the fact this is supposed to be a porter because they have gone overboard with it. the roasted flavor that should be present in spades is shoved to the side in a big way. it also finishes in a rather muddled fashion. trying to be dry, but again, the honey kills it, and the hops seem to end up being more about the aroma than the bite. it does have a crisp clean feel tho, as is usually the case with tassie beers.Sherwood Pale Ale 3.9%– The perfect sessionale pale for any occasion. A citrus burst from this pale ale will leave you wanting after every sip. Inspired by home brewers from across the country, last year President Obama bought a home brewing kit for the kitchen. After the few first drafts we landed on some great recipes that came from a local brew shop. We received some tips from a couple of home brewers who work in the White House who helped us amend it and make it our own. To be honest, we were surprised that the beer turned out so well since none of us had brewed beer before. Hops can be subtle with just enough bitterness to balance the malt or in American porters be quite bold with dry hopping and aroma hops used in abundance.
