Epochal The Primum Mobile

Glasgow stout porter fermented for over a year in neutral oak

 

This is the next in our series of Glasgow porters inspired by the writing of James Steel, so if you enjoyed The Fixed Stars, you'll like this. It's brewed to a higher gravity recipe intended by Steel for 'bottling porter', which needed a higher gravity to survive the rougher treatment involved in 19th century bottling processes.

 

It's powerful and has depth of roast that offers dark chocolate, espresso and nutmeg biscuits with inky black cherries and a subtly balsamic acidity. It has beautiful balance, concentration and finesse.
