Eclipse Robust Porter Beer Kit - Extract

Brew a bold and complex dark ale with the Eclipse Robust Porter Beer Kit, featuring a carefully selected combination of high-quality malt extracts, specialty grains, and traditional English hops. This beer kit delivers deep roasted flavors, smooth chocolate undertones, and subtle caramel sweetness, creating a well-balanced and satisfying drinking experience.

The foundation of this robust porter comes from 6 lbs of Briess Dark Dry Malt Extract (DME), providing a rich malt backbone with notes of toasted bread and dark toffee. Steeping grains further enhance the depth of flavor—Caramel/Crystal Malt 80L introduces hints of burnt sugar and toffee, while Chocolate Malt contributes a velvety cocoa character. The inclusion of Black Patent Malt intensifies the roasted quality, offering a touch of espresso-like bitterness.

For balance, East Kent Goldings hops provide a smooth, earthy bitterness, while Fuggle hops add mild herbal and woody notes to complement the malt complexity. Irish Moss helps ensure clarity, and Yeast Energizer supports healthy fermentation. The Lallemand Verdant Ale Yeast brings out subtle fruity esters and enhances the beer’s full-bodied mouthfeel.

This beer brewing kit is ideal for homebrewers looking to craft a traditional robust porter with layers of roasted malt, bittersweet chocolate, and caramelized depth. Perfect for those who appreciate darker ales with a smooth, well-rounded finish.
