Introducing the perfect tipple to accompany the thousands of chocolate eggs due to be consumed this Easter � James Squire Porter.

Try Porter with a chunk of chocolate and experience the delicious pairing of Porter and cocoa, the ideal Easter offering for beer drinkers everywhere. Featuring flavours of roasted barley and wheat, the subtle hopping and long maturation of Porter create hints of bitter dark chocolate. A match made in beer lovers and chocoholic�s heaven, Porter with chocolate is a unique flavour combination and must be tasted to be believed.

James Squire Porter is similar to stout in its rich, deep colour however unlike stout, it has a more delicate complexity with a creamy, slightly softer finish.

Like all James Squire beers, Porter is a great accompaniment to good Australian cuisine. The roasted coffee and bitter-sweet chocolate flavours of James Squire Porter complement many kinds of chocolate � mud cake, mousse and especially dark chocolate Easter eggs. These same flavours mean that Porter is also delicious with roast beef, a thick Porterhouse steak, juicy barbecued ribs and oysters.

Porter is available nationally. RRP: AUD$57.99 per carton and RRP: AUD$18.99 per 6-pack (in S.A. AUD$59.99 and AUD$19.99 respectively). Available in 345ml bottle 5% ALC/ VOL.

About Malt Shovel Brewery and James Squire Beers: Soon after his arrival as a convict on the First Fleet, James Squire was caught stealing supplies to brew Australia�s first beer. The result was so palatable the colony�s ranking officers only gave him 150 lashes. After fathering eleven children and working his way up from convict to publican and landowner, Squire established his brewery and the Malting Shovel Tavern on the banks of the Parramatta River. Today, the Malt Shovel Brewery at Camperdown is home to the James Squire beers brewed in his honour� James Squire is a pioneer of craft beer in Australia, committed to creating exceptional, flavoursome and truly unique beers.
