#30 Propeller (London Style) Porter

So my first new beer is going to be from local company Propeller where I'm hoping to go on a brewery tour soon. anyway let's get right down to it.

This is one of the only Porter's Ive had. The beer itself is very dark, comparable to a keith or rickard's dark. First sip was strong but smooth. This is a full flavored beer with a nice smooth taste to it. This was a decent beer 4/5 .

IBU's- 39*

Hops- Warrior, Wilamate, Irsh Moss.

Malts- Pale, Crystal, Roasted and Chocolate.

Water- Soft

Colour- 47 °L

* IBU stands for International Bittering Unit - the scale used to measure hop bitterness in beer. An IBU is one part per million of isohumulone, an acid derived from hops. If you like the very bitter “bite” of the “Extreme Beers,” a higher IBU would be an indication of that snap. 

A General IBU Guide:
Ales
Pale Ale / Amber Ale – 20-50 IBU
India Pale Ale – 40-60 IBU (this would have quite a bitter bite)
ESB, aka Extra Special Bitters – 28-40 IBU
English Brown Ale – 20 IBU
Porter – 20-40 IBU
Irish Stout – 30-60 IBU (can be quite bitter, depending on signature)
Barleywine – 50-100 IBU (power punch!)
