Blackman's Brewery Arthur Smoked Porter

The beer that ticks the box marked "dark beer" in the Blackman's core range is another, like the Reginald IPA, that pulls no punches. It's a porter with all the trimmings, weighing in at a not insignificant 6.3 percent ABV and featuring smoked malt from Germany's home of the rauchbier Bamberg.

The outcome is a deeply black and weighty beer with a touch of that unique sweet smoke aroma sitting atop layers of chocolate, burnt caramel and nuttiness.
