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.

Bottle at home from sourced market. Aromas of hazzelnut, nutty buttery caramel. Some soapy notes. Clear dark ruby red pour with a small fleeting cream head. Flavour is chocy roast, musty, caramel and some earthy hop. Medium sweet caramel medium body and average carbonation. Middle of the road.

Bottle. A clear, brown beer topped by a small, dense, light beige head. The aroma is coffee-roasted with some chocolate and notes of prunes. It’s medium bodied, dryish and nicely carbonated, with coffee doing most of the work flavor wise. Dark dried fruits and chocolate as well. The hops haven’t been added in abundance. Roasted, coffee-ish finish. An easy drinkable and a bit boring one. 130405

500ml bottle. Clear ruby red glowing dark brown colour with average, thick, frothy, half-way lasting, moderately lacing, off-white to beige head. Roasty dark malty aroma, notes of cocoa, a touch of coffee, roasted grain. Taste is dry to bitter dark malty, hints of cocoa and coffee, in the finish bitter hoppy.

Bottle shared with ClubGonzo. Has a clear dark brown colour and a small light beige head. A bit faint aroma of bread, caramel, coffee and some roasted notes. The taste is very similar, but here comes the roasted malt much more forward in the aftertaste. Has a smooth mouthfeel and a light bitterness. A little weak porter, but an okay beer in general.

0.5l bottle. This is a clear deep dark brown colored one with a medium sized quite bubbly beige head that sticks to the sides of the glass. Nice light roasted aroma with thin coffee, some clear chocolate paper, slightly earthy and it has a candy sweetness. Not utterly complex and epic, but it smells quite nice, especially considering what kind of caliber this thing is shooting with. It has a soft thing kinda gliding oily mouthfeel with a soft to medium carbonation level. More roasted flavors. It had a good chocolate sweetness and the coffee is also present. Fudge like sweetness, the hops comes through, it has a good amount of dark fruits, and the finish is slightly buttery and almost a bit slimy. Really light drinkable. Some traces of licorice in the aftertaste. Absolutely approved. 18.03.2013

500 ml bottle. Dark amber body with a small tan head. Aroma of caramel malt, toffee and some dark chocolate. Flavor is mild malty, slightly roasted with hint of dry fruit and chocolate, not very bitter. Medium body and moderate in aftertaste. Decent, but a bit plain.
