A full bodied London style Porter using a silly amount of oats & chocolate malt in the mash to create a lovely roasted coco flavour for the tangy First Gold & Sorachi Ace hops to mingle with. Hints of vanilla, spice and orange.

Bottle from Bradwell Village Shop. Appearance - dark black kind of olive sheen. Nose - cereal immersed in milk. Chocolate edge. Taste - more of the same. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly good finish. Overall - a solid porter unfortunately tasted in the middle of a finer range. It’s quite like a brown ale.
