About

Northern Monk Festive Star is a seasonal porter crafted by this English brewery as an annual winter release. The beer showcases a refined blend of vanilla, cinnamon and chocolate flavours, creating a festive character suited to fireside sipping during the colder months. Despite its modest 5.2% ABV, the beer delivers decadent flavours without heaviness. On the nose, sweet and roasted notes combine with distinct cinnamon, chocolate and vanilla. The palate brings chocolate forward with balanced sweetness, supported by caramel and malty depth. The mouthfeel is smooth and approachable, allowing the spiced chocolate character to shine without overwhelming the drinker.
