This dark ale is a showcase of malt and inspired by the historic porter ales of London. Rich, malty and chocolatey with hints of coffee and caramel. If you’re into pairings, it couples perfectly with a rich chocolate dessert or toasted marshmallows around a campfire.

Tan collar & spotty cover on a very dark brown still body. Malt, bitter & berry aroma. Medium bodied, sharp on the tongue with a clean back. Bitter tasting with malt, under ripe fruit & a tangy fruity finish.

Floor 42, share a bottle or two! Thanks to Dan. Hazy deep amber beer, small cream colour head. Palate is airy and semi dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Dry malts, touches of malt cream and roast. Tangy fruits and a spot of tea. Tangy airy dry finish. Very tangy and a tad wishy washy.
