ABV may vary slightly.
The Export India Porter relates to porter in similar manner to the way the IPA relates to the Pale Ale: they added more hops. We’ve taken Barclay Perkins recipe from 1855, but changed the hops to Columbus and Cascade (American varieties) and hopped it in the same way that we hop our IPAs. The result is a dark brown beer that smells of cocoa, roses, and some orange. The body is quite light, and it is carbonated more highly than usual for a porter to make it more refreshing. It’s quite light in texture and tastes of Turkish delight dusted with cocoa powder – chocolate, rose water and fruit. Dry finish.

From bottle @ Borefts 2013 afterparty. Almost black. malt, chocolate and roast in the aroma. Malty sweetish, slightly alcoholic flavor with roast and hints of licorice. Powerful yet drinkable porter, well hopped with grassy and floral hops.

RB backlog. Red berries, vanilla, coffee, ash, zesty grapefruit coming forward. Dry and tart, with some residual sweetness lingering in the back, medium bitterness. Easy drinking and super complex. Nice!

On tap at Southampton Arms in London. Black pour with a tick ivory (dark) foam. Nose: mostly milled coffee with mild resin overall, orange background. Mouth: pretty bitter, chicory, licorice, root, very rough and bitter. This massive bitterness disturbs!
