Cask served English Porters are a thing of beauty and something we've always wanted to produce. Our take is robust in its roastiness with emphasis on deep chocolate and coffee. A hefty dose of medium crystal and DRC rounds out the flavour with caramel, prunes and raisin. We've fermented it with our very own yeast strain for a malty match made in heaven!

Cask at Heidrun, HW, 11/11/22. Light black with a tan covering that dissipates to a swirl. Nose is mellow roast, dried fruit rinds, charr, cocoa powder, toffee. Taste comprises dates, roasted bite, cocoa powder, caramel, dark malts, pinch of spice. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, drying close. Solid cask porter ... plenty of flavour packed into just 4.6%.

Cask at the Southampton Arms, London on 6th November 2022. Almost impenetrably sepia-black with tan foam and spot lacing.. Roasty malt aroma. Coffee bean roastiness in-mouth and finish. Medium bodied with a smooth mouthfeel affording easy drinking. Very pleasant.
