A dark and brooding porter reminiscent of Victorian times when the style was in its heyday and named after Starvation Point outside Whitstable Harbour where workers lined up in hope of work. If you didn’t work, you didn’t eat.
Now the style is popular again and we’ve added a small amount of malt smoked over beechwood which is balanced by the gentle fruitiness of Bramling Cross and Boadicea.

Cask. Appearance is very dark brown, lighter tinges at the base, a light brown foamy head. Lots of chocolate, hint of cocoa in the aroma. Chocolatey taste, dark malts, hint of liquorice, dried fruit. Good.

Cask at Wallington 2014. It pours hazy deep brown with a small off-white head. The nose is soft, roasty, chocolate, salty liquorice, unami and earthy. The taste is smooth, toasty, earth, watery aspect, liquorice, ash and dark fruit and some astringency with a dry finish. Light body and soft carbonation. Too thin unfortunately. So-so.
