Starting life as a seasonal ale, called Winter Watchtower, our Black London Porter is now available all year round. It is a strong, dark beer with a distinctive, earthy bitterness, created by intensely-roasted malted barleys and generous helpings of traditional English hops. These flavours are complemented by a warming late-hop profile, characterised by winter spice and resinous wood, all topped-off with a rich, coffee-coloured head.
Our Watchtower celebrates a well-known Hurstpierpoint landmark – the imposing flint folly known locally as Tower House, a historic circular tower, built in 1826 (and boasting English Heritage Grade 2 status).
