A classic Porter with a hint of smokiness, the F.A.B Smokey Joe Porter is a mouth-watering drinkable dark beer.

Fiskerton station, just five miles from Lincoln served the surrounding villages and was important to the nearby RAF base during the Second World War. The station is long gone but our Porter with its hint of smokey flavour and aroma captures this bygone era of coal and steam.

Ingredients:
Water, Pale Malt, Crystal Malt, Peat Smoked Malt, Roasted Barley, Hops and Yeast. Contains: Gluten.
