Cold Spring Moonlight Ale

Brewer's Description
This beer is a combination of two beers, one is a porter and the other a bock.
The porter is brewed with a combination of specialty malts. This brew has three hop additions: Cascade, Tettnang and Mt. hood.
The bock beer is sweeter; mild in bitterness and lighter in color. It is brewed with caramelized barley. This beer is lightly hopped with Mt. hood and tettnang hops for bitterness. Then Mt. hood hops are added at the end of the boil for aroma.
