Bodies Bottom Lip at 5.2% could be described as a ‘strong’ porter, but we prefer to call it an ‘extra’ porter in recognition of how strong porters would be referred to years ago. Using 3 types of malt and strong flavoured hops, Harry has developed a dark rich porter with the bitterness and aroma to create a truly satisfying beer. Proving to be very popular among local hostelries. The beer is named after another local well known cricketer, Pete Bodie. Pete played for Hartshorne throughout the noughties, and even played a couple of games in 2012 with a dodgy knee. Pete was an excellent bat and opening bowler, and although very amenable off the pitch, wasn’t renowned for his pleasant on field approach. On this occasion Pete after not having a particularly good over at Yoxhall CC went on to take his frustration out on an advertising board at fine leg.

Cask at the Leicester Beer Festival, 2018. Pours dark chestnut brown with a small bubbly beige head. Aroma of chocolate, malt, coffee, moderate roasting, hint of liquorice. Medium sweetness and bitterness. Medium body, slight oily texture, soft carbonation. Roasting develops in the finish. Decent.

Cask @ The Dolphin, Shrewsbury. First off, lots of roasted coffee with a grainy mouthfeel.. some bitter chocolate in the coffee dregs, with roasted malts teasing the tongue. Not as bad as others at the bar had me believe pre-order, but an interesting one.
