Porter & Stouts

Medium and balanced aroma. A roast character with subtle fermentation fruitiness. A perfect rounded flavor of bitter and sweet. A smooth palate with a slight bite leading to a dry finish. Distinctively black full bodied liquid with a rich creamy head.

Cabbages & Kings Stout 12%

The Walrus did beseech. Cabbages & Kings, Imperial Oyster Stout, brewed with the more or less willing assistance of ten dozen fresh Te Matua Bay Pacific oysters, Horopito and Manuka smoked malt. Dark, certainly - and rich with just a suggestion of brine, a touch of smoke and a hint of native New Zealand pepper leaf.

What if you combine an Imperial Stout with Balcones barrels? This results in a nicely balanced yet very complex barrel aged beer. The complexity is due to the combination of the wood flavors and a quirky light acidity of the used malts, tannins and a slightly fruity touch. Because the flavors are not too heavy, it can be called very accessible and can therefore be a good entry into the world of barrel aged beers

Blackshore is a smooth, easy-drinking stout, named after the black-tarred fishing huts that line Southwold's harbour. They are individual, characterful and made of sturdy stuff. It is brewed with a hefty mash bill for a rich, broad malt character. You?ll find Pale Ale, Brown, Double Roasted Crystal, and Chocolate malts, alongside Roasted Barley and a hearty helping of oats. This adds a real depth of flavour, that the brewing team are particularly proud of, making it tremendously tasty, but mellow on the finish.

A luxurious blend of coffee, dark chocolate and a hint of smokiness. This is a balanced, subtle stout that just works. Everywhere.

Norty Porter is everything you want in a winter beer? or any time you?re craving something rich, chocolatey and dessert-like!

Sprig + Fern Brewing Co.?s Norty Porter is brewed with a combination of five speciality malts, with the addition of cacao nibs bringing a luscious chocolate aromatic and flavour. This creamy chocolate beer is smooth and silky, right to the last drop.

But don?t take our word for it ? this beer picked up a TOP 30 medal win in the 2023 New World Beer & Cider Awards, with the judges calling it ?the liquid form of a chocolate mousse? and going on to encourage drinkers to ?forget any notions you might have of dark beers being too heavy or charry-bitter; this is elegant, feather-light and smooth ? and a wonderful chocolate delivery mechanism?. It also picked up a silver medal in the Australian International Beer Awards.

It?s indulgent, it?s dark, and it?s a little bit ?norty?!

ABV 5.0%

Rich and complex, silky and black. Hints of lushful chocolate ?avours supported by a solid malt base and a combination of traditional English hops.

In the immortal words of Kenny "you have to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em... and know when to run". Just make sure when it is time to run you don't leave your mates or your beer behind. Cheers!
