Brewed to Henry Harvey’s Porter recipe of 1859. Pale, crystal and black malts combine with a generous hop grist of Fuggles and Goldings. Full and rounded with roasted malts to the fore. It is conditioned in cask for four weeks before being released from the brewery cellars.
Harvey’s Porter was first in its class and overall runner-up at the 1995 GBBF at Olympia. In 1999 it was chosen as the ‘Ultimate Pizza Beer’ in the Beauty of Hops awards.

[Cask at Cockney Pub] The aroma is sweet and smokey. The color is black and the head is fine and light brown. The flavor is sweet, roasted, caramel with hints of smoke. It has a good palate. A fine porter.
