A dark and foreboding ale, London Porter is a brew of mystery and intrigue. Hidden within its shadowy depths are lurking notes of coffee, chocolate and smoke. Just like its namesake city, there is always more to discover in London Porters unlit complexity.

Half pint, cask hand pulled at Old Wellington. Low fawn-coloured head, poor lacing. Deep dark brown body. Malt and resin-like hops to the nose. Dark fruity taste on a mid-sweet malty backbone. Malt bitter ending. Dry. Well bodied and likable (Manchester, 21.01.2013).
