The London Porter is arguably the original commercially brewed beer and Bonebox Cooler is Neckstamper's take on the 18th century recipe.
Malts are key to the style and Maris Otter combined with brown and chocolate give a toasty backbone. Crystal and golden oats provide a slight sweetness and velvety mouthfeel. Classic Goldings and Willamette hops give balance and an earthy edge.

Keg at Ye Olde Tavern o' Cocke - Hackney. Pours deep brown with a dense, creamy tan head. The nose holds smooth milk chocolate, moderate roast, nips of ash. Light-medium sweet flavourbwith fairly assertive ashy bitterness, some baking cocoa, more milk chocolate, earth. Medium with massaging carbonation and velvety carbonation. Finishes with more ashy roast, bitter cocoa. Straightforward gear. Solid.
