Historically the term used to describe a porter blended from a variety of ales, entire butt uses 14 different malts and 3 hops to recreate this forgotten style of porter. The beer is black/brown with a crisp white head and is distinctly vinuous. It has little hop character as essentially the flavour is derived from the malts. Malts used: pale Maris Otter, lager, wheat, pale crystal, dark crystal, dark chocolate, pale chocolate, black, roasted barley, caramalt, torrified wheat, amber malt, brown malt and malted oats.

50 cl bottle. $2.50 at Binny’s,maybe because the "Best Before" is "F11." Pour is brown, then settles to nearly black in the glass with a slightly tan head. Smell is plentiful dark malt surrounded by molasses and coffee roast. Taste is light as first, then opens the gates for a complex medley of molasses, coffee, nut brown, and some other ale grains. A mix like this comes in pretty sweet, but there are earthy English hops to keep it in check. Slight sherry backing, too. FWIW, this adds Shropshire to my list of English counties sampled. Up to 17 so far.

Aroma has rusty metal, some roasted malt and a hint of coffee. Flavor is metallic too and it has a bit too roasted malt. Some coffee and peat do also appear. Too ashy and salty for a porter.
