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.

Cask-conditioned, on gravity, at the Pig's Ear Beer Festival, London 7/12/2017. Near black in colour, with a thin, off-white, head. A pleasant black IPA, with smoe citrus hops, tangerine and red berry fruits, slightly bready malts and a dryish finish.
