Description:
Stefan Shoemakers Porter is a gluten-free porter-style ale that highlights rich, roasted flavors despite a lighter-than-expected appearance. Roasted flaked quinoa adds depth and complexity, while Briess sorghum extract, molasses, and dark Belgian candi sugar provide a smooth malt backbone. Warrior and UK Kent Golding hops contribute subtle bitterness and aroma, complemented by a hint of licorice. Finished with Safale S-04 yeast and Irish Moss, this beer ages beautifully and offers a robust, flavorful gluten-free experience.
