St. Peter's Honey Porter 4.5% ABV (12 x 500ml)

Product Information

With public excitement about White House beer fermenting such a buzz, we decided we better hop right to it. I was really, really excited when I first saw this in a shop tonight. It's limited release and I hope is from the most recent batch (otherwise I'd be worried about its age). Place 2 gallons of chilled water into the primary fermenter and add the hot wort into it. Top with more water to total 5 gallons if necessary. Place into an ice bath to cool down to 70-80˚. All sizes and measurements are approximate but we do try to make sure that they are as accurate as possible.

having said that, the balance of this brew is all over the place. it has dark ruby/ mahogany colors and a lacy off white head which looks a little out of place with a beer that is dark. the nose has a gentle roasted touch, with massive blasts of honey and fruity hops. you can really smell the apple orchards of tassie in there. problem here is in the balance of the flavours. theyve gone a bit too full on trying to take a porter and give it an edge. too heavyhanded on the honey which often overpowers the beer. you have to drink this chilled, so this is kept under control. unfortunately, porters are at their best warming up. they also have this nice new hop which they are also trying to bring to the fore, but it doesnt compliment everything else they are trying to do here. the hop has a fine balance of bitterness and aroma, but its application here is a little amiss. the addition of honey and new hops totally takes the focus off the fact this is supposed to be a porter because they have gone overboard with it. the roasted flavor that should be present in spades is shoved to the side in a big way. it also finishes in a rather muddled fashion. trying to be dry, but again, the honey kills it, and the hops seem to end up being more about the aroma than the bite. it does have a crisp clean feel tho, as is usually the case with tassie beers. The ABV of different porters can range quite significantly, from around 4% upto 9% or more for Imperial versions. Ed. Note: There's been a lot of buzz online recently about the recipe for the White House Honey Ale and White House Honey Porter, including a popular petition on We the People, the White House's online petition platform. WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.

Coffee & Chocolate: I have included both coffee and chocolate together as they are both flavours that compliment the flavours provided by the roasted and dark malts. Use plenty to get the flavour of coffee or chocolate into the finished beer for it to be noticeable. i think the biggest problem with this beer is you cant drink it after having other beers. doing this exposes its weaknesses to the hilt. goes down ok if its drunk in isolation, or at the start of the night. Malt: Typically, many porter recipes will be made of of an English or US base malt such as Maris otter or pale malt and then a variety of dark roasted malts and crystal malt.

Inspired by home brewers from across the country, last year President Obama bought a home brewing kit for the kitchen. After the few first drafts we landed on some great recipes that came from a local brew shop. We received some tips from a couple of home brewers who work in the White House who helped us amend it and make it our own. To be honest, we were surprised that the beer turned out so well since none of us had brewed beer before.
