London Porter || 5.4% || Willi Becher
Taste: Roasty, Chocolate, dry
Notes: A beer from founder Chris Lohring’s brewing past that he brewed in the Tremont Brewery in Charlestown. While close to the original, the original yeast used is no longer available, so we used another classic London strain. A classic London style Ale that highlights chocolate and roasty notes, and while full, does not finish sweet. The style gained popularity, especially among working-class Londoners, due to its affordability and robust flavor.

Pours ruby-tinged mahogany into an English pint. Mocha head with medium retention recedes to skim surface. Chocolate and mocha aromas. Dry with sweet chocolate-covered dried cherry upfront turning to earthy, dusty mocha in the dry, fruity finish.

Clear, dark. Garnet-cola. Big, well-retained, tan head.
Fruity and malty with delectable brown sugar and a hint of leather and mild tobacco. Not unlike the Over It I just had but bigger and bolder, due to the higher gravity.
Soft, malty, with brown sugar and chocolate, fruit and nuts. Dries out nicely but not too much. Briwn bread and not too much toast. Vanilla, chocolate and fruit lingering.
