Classic London Porter with lots of brown, chocolate and crystal malts giving a wonderful rich roasted flavour, complemented with Fuggles and Golding hops from Kent.

Barrel aged original recipe, at Egham Beer Fest. 13/04/17. Thin liquorice aroma. Gusher of a head. Settlement s down I to a decent beige wedge. Slightly off-putting appearance - muddy pond water brown. The taste matches the aroma - all low key. Coffee, berries, roasted malts. But all dialled down. Light bodied. Watery but does get army into the finish. Average.

Cask-conditioned at the Express Tavern, Kew Bridge 17/11/2016. Dark brown in colour, with a frothy, beige, head. Aroma of toasty malts with some berry fruit sweetness. Easy drinking, with toasted malt flavours, a hint of caramel and dryish finish. Good.
