The Porter is our flagship beer. The style established Victorian London as the centre of the brewing world. The Porter is also the beer that started us on our journey. Our blend of highly kilned and roasted malts is suited perfectly to our water, producing balanced flavours of rich coffee and dark chocolate. This award-winning Porter represents the true beer style of London. It is one that we are incredibly proud of.

[33cl can from M&S Bracknell.] A glossy chestnut brown pour with a tight tan head; aroma of molasses, raisins and good cocoa; smooth and silky in the mouth with an earthy, nutty taste; then a long dry finish with dark chocolate, licorice and bitter tree bark. A proper Porter.

Keg at the brewery. Cocoa coffee aroma. Opaque cola brown. Thick creamy beige head. Medium bitter. Underlying chocolate creaminess. Gains more bitterness. Light-medium bodied. Slick but on the thin side. Flat carbonation. Long somewhat astringent.
