A group of enterprising brewers on a quest to explore new recipes reinterpret old ones and collaborate freely to bring exciting beers to life.
A style with origins from our brewers' diaries dating back to 1801, West Indies Porter is complex yet mellow, hoppy with notes of toffee and chocolate.

Bottles from Morrisons. Black body with a thick beige head. Faint lacing. Aroma of toffee, orange, ginger and milk chocolate. Flavour of dark chocolate, charred gingerbread and a bitter, steely finish. Medium body with a smooth texture. Soft fizz. Dark and slightly hoppy. Pretty good.

Bottle drunk at home after music jams and swimming. Very dark brown, lovely tall dark tan head. Nose of sweet roast notes, molasses. Full body, sweeter and less dry than the stout. Still a nice balance of bitterness and toasty malt flavor.
