Powerhouse is named in association with our local landmark Battersea Power Station. We brew with a combination of brown, chocolate, crystal and pale malts and hop with a blend of Fuggles, Boadicea, Challenger and Fuggles. Powerhouse Porter has a rich, dark chocolate flavour and an aroma of toasted malt and winter fruits.

Backlog. At Mi2 at Cardinal 25.03.13. Dark brown. Pale brown head. Aroma of anise, Belgian dubbel and dark fruits. Taste of chocolate. Some tar and overripe fruits in aftertaste. Medium long bitterness. Perhaps a bit overcarbonated. OK drinkability. Improved as it became warmer.

Cask at the Windsor Castle, Kensington. Black with a loose white head. Aromas of blackcurrant and plum, liquorice, slate. Clean bittersweet taste with a hint of sour. There is also a savoury almost smoky note. Notes of liquorice and beechwood. Light and surprisingly refreshing mouthfeel for a porter. Nice.
