Traditional Porter. A full bodied traditional dark Porter hopped with Bramling Cross and Fuggles hops creating a spicy bitterness to compliment it’s chocolate and nut flavours. A recipe true to Britain’s most popular beer of the 1800s.

Bottle from This Is Beer. Appearance - deep brown to black and opaque. A hint of an orange chink. Tan head. Nose - caramel, honeycomb, biscuit and light smoke. Taste - wood smoke and burnt toffee. Edge of molasses. Palate - medium bodied, a bit thin and sweet, but smoky middle and finish,that deals with the sweetness well. Overall - decent.

Bottle 50 cl. Pours a dark, orangey brown with a small, rough off-white head. Nose has nothing much but a hint of acetic acid. Light body, only the vaguest hint of roast, the rest is simply acids from an infection. Acetic definitely, lactic perhaps. No good. 051217
