With winter now well and truly with us in the South West, the brewers at Boston are ensuring their limited releases move in line with the climate, releasing a rich pecan pie porter ideal for fireside sipping.
Before we even get to the dessert-inspired additions, you've got an unctuous 9 percent ABV base beer on hand offering to ward off winter chills, and then comes the cavalry: kilos of toasted pecans that offer up sweet, nutty characters, plus vanilla that imparts its distinctive aromas. The ABV is very apparent, giving this intensely flavoured dark beer a warming edge.
Finishing sweet and full, this pastry porter makes for a classic sit-and-sip offering: no need to rush, savour instead.
