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.

Gravity cask at the Bree Louise. Brown pour with a filmy head. Mild roast nose, hints of sugary malts. Nice, very accessible flavor, with modest chocolate malts and roast. Light to medium in body with fine carbonation. Finish has some faint bitterness with more very easygoing roastiness. Super drinkable beer.

Gravity cask at the Harpenden Beer Festival, 26th June 2009. Black with diminishing foamy offwhite head. Hints of rye-bread/toast before burst of caffe latte/mocha in main kick. A strong, and long, malty finish with notes of coffee and cocoa. Despite all chocolate references the beer is certainly not too sweet, but very well balanced and crafted.
