One Down, a robust cherrywood smoked porter, was brewed in celebration of the brewery's first anniversary. This porter pours midnight-black and has a complex and assertive profile consisting of roasty coffee and dark chocolate characteristics, a complementing bitterness, and a distinct, yet subtle, earthy smokey finish. The cherrywood smoked malts lend just a hint of cherrywood flavor, which gives way to just a touch of caramel-like sweetness that serves to balance out the flavor profile. This beer is full-bodied and is robust in more ways than one as it clocks in at a 7.75% ABV.
IBU: 28
