Black Rock Porter | Bock
The middle child of dark beers. Misunderstood. Absolutely worth it.
Dark, malty, and genuinely complex. Black Rock Porter (formerly Bock) is a full-flavoured dark beer brewed with five specialty malts: Caramalt, Crystal, Chocolate and Roasted malts, for a deep amber to dark brown beer with malty sweetness, a chocolate note, and just enough bitterness to keep things balanced.
This is the kind of beer that rewards a bit of patience. Condition it for an extra week and it will thank you for it. Previously sold as Black Rock Bock, same kit, better name.
For more body and flavour, swap dextrose for Black Rock Unhopped Dark Malt or Amber Malt.
Makes 23 litres (about 60 stubbies or 47 schooners). Yeast included under the lid.
