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.

Il gusto al naso resta attratto da orzo tostato, caffè e cioccolato. L'intensità olfattiva è elevata e il modo in cui permane è apprezzabile. Il cappello di schiuma cremosa è di colore marrone chiaro e ha una buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di colore scuro impenetrabile. Il corpo è strutturato. Il dolce è medio a pareggiare l'amaro medio: non si surclassano. La forza gustativa è elevata. La continuità gustativa è buona. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di pronta beva. Il retrogusto è intenso. Sul tetto della bocca si fermano sentori di miele, cioccolato, caffè, liquirizia e agrumi.

Zwart bier met weinig schuim. Smaak is bitter en licht zoet met iets van bittere chokolade, gebrande noten, koffie en een vleugje vanille. Heeft een mooi romig mondgevoel, erg goed.
