Siren – Sheltered Spirit BA Imperial Porter

Description

Siren brewed this beer with the sole aim of ageing it in bourbon barrels. The inspiration was all about tamarind – an ingredient revered for the sweet and sour depth it can add, and it offered an amazing fruity aroma almost immediately. In folklore, tamarind trees are said to harbour ghosts. Sheltered Spirit has serenely matured into something very special.

About the brewery

Who doesn't like a good story? These folks are sound spinners of quality yarns when it comes to their beers, basing each one around mysterious sirens, luring and teasing the thirsty drinker with names such as Undercurrent, Soundwave, Liquid Mistress and Broken Dream. Siren's aim is to draw you into their world where the qualities of beer can be approached with just as much care and appreciation as wine, inviting you to act on your curiosity and explore the diverse landscape that is craft beer. Personally, we're big fans of their philosophy to carefully think through every stage of the process, and that their beer '...will be ready when it's ready, not because it needs to get out the door.'
