Dark like a stout, but hoppy and bitter in flavour like an IPA! A rich blend of malts gives Crowstone its intensely dark, almost black colour, while serious quantities of fresh New World hops provide tropical citrus flavour and aroma. Crowstone is the beer that runs Legra close (or surpasses it?) for awards
The Crowstone, at Chalkwell, is the north bank Thames “London Stone” marking the ancient limit of the port of London.

Can thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - black and opaque. Cream to tan head. Nose - lime, chocolate and roast. Taste - lime, herby resin and some roasty dark chocolate. Palate - medium bodied and roasty finish. Overall - decent. Almost more a hopped stout than a black IPA.

Fra cask på GBBF aug-19: brunsvart med fint skum som varer. Dessertkaffe med sjokolade, mørke karameller, røde bær, litt aske og lær. Moreish. Takket være grundig forarbeid ble GBBF ble en betydelig forbedring av min statistikk over engelske bryggerier. Skål for min rating nr. 9000!
