What does today’s brew have in common with a plate of a sticky, cinnamony, syrup-covered breakfast bread shouting “WAIT WAIT, I can explain!”? Well, they’re both Defensive French Toast. 

But the decadent Porter from Divine Barrel Brewing brings all the beloved breakfast flavors of a stack of the cinnamony stuff — and is a lot more fun to have around — so let’s focus on that one. 

The award-winning brewers at DBB doused their Porter base with huge doses of Madagascar vanilla, Vermont maple syrup, Saigon cinnamon, and coffee to imbue it with rich, decadent French toast flavor. 

Every creamy sip coats the palate with rich cinnamon-maple character, and its fluffy mouthfeel rivals that of the breakfast favorite. You even get a hint of your morning cuppa joe in its roasty espresso notes!

So save yourself the trouble of tussling with your breakfast; this 6.8% ABV Porter was meant to be enjoyed with breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert. The only defense you’ll need to worry about is defending it from your jealous buddies who are sure to want a sip!

Charlotte Magazine named Divine Barrel the Best New Brewery when they first sprang onto the craft scene!
