Limited Release 'Off the Wall' series Porter, featuring art by ADW.
We're veering off the highway of hops, and here we take a gentle stroll down this dark country lane...
This is a big, luscious beer, with all the expected rich dark chocolate, burnt caramel, roast coffee and dark fruit notes. With a higher finishing gravity, we've brewed our 'One Beating Heart' for a big body, built on a blend of the finest Maris Otter, Chocolate, Caramalt, and Crystal malts, and with a touch of roasted barley added for those complex coffee notes. Enjoy! Show Less

Large can from Beer 52. Berry fruits dominate the nose, but with a hint of mulled wine too. Pours a very dark reddish-brown with a strong dark beige (almost reddish) head. Initial impression in the mouth is of the bitterness of coffee grounds (though no actual coffee taste). Further sampling gives a strong liquorice flavour along with toffee, burnt sugar and aniseed. Bitterness returns in the finish, but is now more hoppy – and the 7% strength beings to show at last. A really nice drink, but could have done with a tad more porter character.

Rocky light brown head left a creamy cover on a still black body. Berries, spiced & metallic aroma. Medium to full bodied, creamy & smooth with a lighter clean back. Malt, coffee, demerara, jam & roasted tastes with a tangy hoppy finish.
