Crack of Dawn (Bourbon Barrel-Aged Coffee) (2019)

A "breakfast” Porter called Crack of Dawn will get your taste buds percolating with hints of roasted java, chocolate and a slight sweetness. Starting from a big Porter base featuring Munich and Horton Ridge Pale malt, with Chocolate Wheat and Chocolate Rye malts for colour and flavour, lactose was added for some residual sweetness and to cut any harsh roast character. Green coffee beans of Guatamalan origin were aged in a Bulleit Bourbon barrel, before receiving a medium roast at Meeting Waters, and the subsequent cold brew was blended with the Porter to bring it to a reasonable 8% ABV.
