One of our very first beers with a recipe essentially unchanged ever since the first brew.
A classic, robust London style porter – with our own twist. Smooth and full-bodied, bursting with aromas of dark, bitter chocolate, and roasted coffee.
Brewed with 100% British ingredients, East Kent Goldings Hops and an array of seven different malts of Maris Otter, Brown, Crystal, Chocolate, Munich, Dark Crystal, Black.

Revisiting my initial review by giving this well kept pint with chocolate notes a well deserved 4 stars. Lovely

Strong. Hefty. It's well-documented truth that the porter doesn't necessarily tick all of my boxes - too often does the taste overstay its welcome. Unfortunately this does not defy convention, but it an enjoyable beer nonetheless. Serious coffee notes, quite overwhelming but not terrible. Smokey. Beautifully coloured. Not top of my list, but by no means objectionable. Impressed.

Karkasin päivä kaljalle. Pari Lontoolaisen Five Pointsin real alea maistoon. Tämä porteri oikean puoleinen.
Upean näköinen, pikimusta olut kermaisella vaalean beigellä vaahdolla.
Tuoksussa paahteista ohraa, toffeeta, pehmeän paahteista kahvia. Kevyesti yrttistä humalaa taustalla.
Pehmeä ja samettinen suutuntuma. Ja juuri oikealla tavalla hieman vetinen niin kuin real alen kuuluu 😄 vähäiset hapot kuten olettaa sopii.
Maussa paahdettua ohraa, toffeeta, snadisti lakritsia, kahvia ja yrttisen kuiva humala maistuu lopussa. Erinomainen portter. Tätä voisi louhia litra tolkulla .
