Tonka, one of the most talked about beers in Hawksheadââ¬â¢s series of limited releases last Autumn is back, and this time, due to popular demand, itââ¬â¢ll be launched in bottle.
Itââ¬â¢s brewed using (and named after) an ingredient rarely seen before in a beer, the tonka bean the fruit of the South American Cumaru tree, used by chefs for their complex scent and nut & fruit flavours.
Head Brewer Matt Clarke also aged the deep dark velvety ale, an imperial porter which sits at 8.5% ABV, with cacao nibs, adding to the beerââ¬â¢s diverse characteristics. ââ¬ÅThis is a complex beer with many layers of flavour; chocolate, vanilla, coconut, almond, bitter cherry, rolling into the richness of dark maltsââ¬Â said Matt.
Tonka will be launched on Friday 6th May at The Beer Hall, the Hawkshead Brewery tap where youââ¬â¢ll be able to enjoy it poured from keg as well as getting your hands on bottles to take away.
