On passage to London in 1907, the majestic seven masted T.W.Lawson foundered off Shag Rock. This magnificent dark Scillonian porter is a nod to the ship and to the famous London Porters.

Monday 30th Sep 2019; Shrewsbury Monthly Share in Chez Sophie. 500ml bottle brought back from The Scilly Isles to split with friends. Deep amber body, wispy off-white head. Malty, but watery and more like a malty Bitter than a Porter. Hoped this would be better to be honest.

500ml bottle @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, Sep 19, thanks Jeremy for bringing this back from your voyage through the British Isles. Pours dark mahogany brown, off-white foam. Aroma is malt-forward. Taste is tired ropey malt, thin and watery, amber bitter territory.. bit homebrewey, needs more dark malt to warrant the porter tag.
