Loading... Please wait...The Wetpak Australian Old Porter is a dark beer designed to reflect the classic Australian Old beer style. It produces a dark beer with a rich maltiness that is at the same time fresh on the palate like a good Porter should be.The roastiness from the dark malt is balanced perfectly with the slight woodiness and grass aroma and flavour coming from the combination of finishing hops.

I've brewed three batches of this Porter because it is seriously up there with the best beers I've ever drank! So if you like a full bodied dark beer, you'll absolutely love this, especially on a cold winter's night.

Made this Wetpak a few years ago, was an absolute awesome beer, took a while in the bottle to age but after about 6 months to a year was really good. Found one the other day in the back of my cupboard, had been sitting there for a couple of years and was still awesome.
