Stronger than our flagship Railway Porter, London Smoke packs velvet smooth notes of bonfires, tobacco and dark chocolate. There’s a bitterness, too, and subtle, musty flavours of wood smoke, oak and vanilla.
Aromas of coffee, molasses and sherry on the nose, and an umami finish which lingers. Dark, decadent, and pretty damn delicious.

Keg draught at the brewery tap. Impenetrably dark brown with a massive khaki/beige head. Sweet woodsmoke aroma with stone fruit creeping through. Taste is much more smoky with oak notes, tobacco, burnt caramel. Drier finish with woodsmoke on the tongue in the aftertaste. Lures you in with an initial sweetness and then piles on the smoky intensity. Genius.

Bouteille 33cl, BB 11.04.2018, bottled on 11.04.2016 achetée à WholeFoods, London. Brune, col crémeux jaunâtre. Arôme est malté, chocolaté, fruité noir rappelant les pruneaux complété par de fines effluves de fumé versant sur le cendré. Effet rétro de toffee sur notes de réglisse. Nez un peu sirop, rappelant le sirop de Liège et mixe chocolaté. Palais est malté avec de suite un effet de fruité noir assez dominant. Pruneau et date. Petite amertume noble EKG anglaise. Effet levure retrouvant un profil bien anglais qcq esters - à la Fullers - petite épaisseur de fin de bouche. Fumé revient à la charge avec un léger côté réglisse. Effervescence reste moyenne sur haute renforçant l'effet de fruité et faisant ressortir l'amertume plutôt citronnée.
