Description
There are two standard strength porters recognized by the Beer Judge Certification Program (BJCP). One is the traditional or robust porter. The other is the Brown Porter formerly East Coast (USA) Porter. Our Cold Soak Porter is in the Robust Porter category. Think Boulevard Bully Porter or Anchor Porter. Cold soaking is a method used to increase the flavor and aromatic characteristics of color and flavor grains while at the same time reducing some of the adverse effects of using those same grains. Mashing and/or steeping color and flavor grains can increase astringency and harsh tannic characteristics of those grains.
