#18 Going to the dark side

A good stout or porter is something beautiful to behold in your glass
and in your mouth. Smooth and creamy with a wonderful balance – a dark will
have you forgetting an IPA in a heartbeat as it dances across your taste buds.

Probably, no other type of beer allows a brewer to show off their
abilities in creating amazing flavours, ranging from the traditional to the most
exotic. 

In this episode we’ll be hearing head brewer Colin Stronge reveals his secrets in making a good dark creation, we’ll be talking about the different varieties of stouts and porters, and attempt to answer that question which has vexed mankind for centuries: What is the difference between a porter and a stout?
