The Nirvana Mocha Porter has been launched by the brand in celebration of its 10th anniversary as a collaborative product created with the help of Climpson & Sons to offer a decidedly flavor take on the classic coffee porter beer.
The beer comes in with a 0.5% ABV and starts off with the Midnight Oil coffee concentrate that's paired with barley, oat and wheat alongside cacao nibs to give it a deep, complex flavor profile. The beer thus boasts rich, smooth tasting notes with ample layers of chocolate and hazelnut in every sip.
Head Brewer James Rabagliati spoke on the Nirvana Mocha Porter saying, "Now’s the time for hunkering down with darker, more complex, beers and this hits the spot – especially for anyone doing Dry January or limiting their alcohol intake. It’s a deeply satisfying brew – layers of rich flavours combining in an indulgent fashion.”
