More About Kernel India Double Porter Nelson Sauvin Vic Secret

The Kernel’s India Double Porter takes everything that makes their dark beers so compelling and turns it up to 11. At 7.4%, it combines a seriously rich malt bill of Maris Otter, crystal, brown, chocolate and black malts with a generous dose of Nelson Sauvin and Vic Secret hops.

Deep, roasted flavours of treacle, raisins, coffee, dark chocolate and a touch of smoke provide the foundation, while the hops bring an unexpected burst of peach, grapefruit, orange and ripe mango. It’s rich and intense without becoming clumsy, with the fruity hop character cutting through the dark malt and a warming, dry finish bringing everything together. A brilliant meeting of porter and IPA.

Meet the Producer, Kernel Brewery

Kernel Brewery

Style: Brewery

The Kernel basically changed London beer forever and then carried on quietly making brilliant beer while everyone else argued online about haze levels.

Started by Evin O’Riordain in Bermondsey back in 2009, the brewery became one of the key names behind modern British craft beer. At the time most UK breweries were still heavily tied to either traditional cask ale or bland industrial lager. Then Kernel arrived making beautifully balanced pale ales, porters and IPAs inspired by American brewing but without loads of gimmicky nonsense attached.

The thing people always notice first is the labels. Plain white text-heavy designs that look more like old pharmacy packaging than craft beer branding. Completely iconic now.

The beers themselves lean heavily into balance and drinkability. Their pale ales and IPAs helped introduce loads of UK drinkers to Citra, Mosaic, Simcoe and all the big modern hop varieties before every supermarket shelf became covered in them. Crisp bitterness, proper structure and no unnecessary sweetness weighing things down.

Then there’s the dark beer side. Export stouts, porters and brown ales packed with roast malt, chocolate and coffee character without becoming ridiculously heavy. Kernel dark beer in winter is basically public service infrastructure at this point.

Even after influencing hundreds of breweries, Kernel still feels oddly low-key. No massive hype campaigns, no endless collaboration circus, just very very good beer brewed with frightening consistency.
