Peel and Bean is an Imperial Porter from Põhjala Brewery in Tallinn, Estonia. The brewery has built its reputation on reimagining classic beer styles with unexpected ingredients, and this porter exemplifies that philosophy. Brewed with cacao nibs and orange peel, it delivers an intriguing marriage of dark chocolate and citrus aromatics reminiscent of Jaffa Cakes.

On the palate, complex layers emerge: espresso and rock sugar balanced by earthy undertones and caramel, with hints of red currants and dark fruit. The mouthfeel is creamy and velvety, with a full body befitting its 8.5% ABV. This is a beer that experiments thoughtfully rather than for novelty's sake, reflecting Põhjala's approach to brewing with local inspiration and culinary ambition.
