St. Paul Porter Extract Kit

O.G: 1052 / Ready: 6 weeks

Many consider porter to be a light-bodied stout. This is certainly not true of this beer. In formulating our St. Paul Porter recipe, we have considered the defining element of a porter to be the prodigious use of chocolate malt, which lends a deep red color, and a smooth, almost nutty flavor.
