To celebrate Buxton’s twisted history of witchcraft, this porter has a deep darkness, a billowing cappuccino head, aromas of forest fruits and a biscuity, malty body. You’ll find it utterly spellbinding.

Close to black colour, small off-white head. Aroma is roasted malts, some toffee, mild ashes and a bit nutty tones with some old cold coffee too. Flavour is coffee, some roasted tones, mild nutty elements, with a bit ashy elements as well as some toffee lurking. Some hoppy bitterness to it too.
