Siren Craft was founded in 2012 by IT-pro-turned-beer-entrepreneur Darron Anley and American brewer Ryan Witter-Merithew. Cold Blooded is the team's answer to the dark cloak of winter – a cold-steeped porter with a rich chocolatey, malty character.
Tasting notes
Warming, unctuous, chocolatey and malty, dark, hint of mocha

Siren Craft is a small outfit based in West Berkshire with a clear, stated aim: to arouse people’s curiosity in the endless flavour possibilities of beer. The guys use up to eight times as many ingredients as you find in standard, mass-produced beer and make their brews in small batches to keep everything fresh. They also take a slow, artisanal approach to crafting it, saying it'll be ready when it’s time and not because it’s due out the door. The team love brewing dark beers, and winter gives them the perfect excuse. The ingredients are cold-steeped overnight before brewing, to lend a deep, malty chocolatey base, while the hops bring a strong lift of lemon, lime, papaya and herbs (Equinox) and spicy pine and grapefruit (Cascade).
