Canned staff release (now renamed to Port Barrel Aged G'Knight), via trade
Medium-red color with a miniscule head. Butter caramel aromas, with light cherry and orange notes. Lots of port character comes through in the taste, although much lighter and less sweet than actual port, of course. Honestly, this is a strange combination with the hops. Low-ish carbonation. Ultimately, I found this beer pretty strange and not a treatment I'd recommend others mimic.
