Pirate Life X Burton Maple Bacon Coffee Porter

TASTING NOTES

In 1961. Vermont locals Mikey and Ginny Cochran built a rope tow on their hillside property. It would form the basis of a vibrant ski culture within their community, and make world champion athletes out of their kids. Fifty years on, at Slopeside Syrup, their grandchildren proudly carry on the family name, bottling pure maple syrup a mere snowballs throw from those now iconic hills. Discover the fruits of their labour in every sip of this Coffee Maple Bacon Porter-a robust winter warrior courtesy of Pirate Life, Burton Snowboards and of course, the Cochrans. It pours dark brown, with a tan head of foam. Expect aromas of coffee. Smoked malt and treacle. On the palate, it’s roasty and rich, with a fine syrupy quality.

BREWERY SNAPSHOT

Adelaide deserves to be famous for more than churches and an iced coffee fetish. Sunshine, great food, better wine and famous festivals; it was the obvious choice for Pirate Life. Adelaide might have funny tasting water, but that doesn’t stop them from making a darn good brew.

DID YOU KNOW?

Pirate Life choose cans over bottle because:
1. Cans no longer have that metallic taste, thanks to internal coating. Think of it as a mini keg.
2. Cans are more portable and durable.
3. They take far less energy to recycle than bottles.
4. They chill faster!
