ABV: 6.2%

IBU: -

Ticks: 5

Our stout porter at 6.2% abv is brewed to the oldest tradition, using large volumes of brown and amber malts, without reliance on black patent malt for taste and colour. Consequently it has a complex character; deep ruby in colour with a big chocolate nose; the palate is coffee, spice, rum and raison, and very gentle smoke.

21/6/2021. Bottle from CentrAle, Newcastle. Shared with SHIG and Dana at the Suffolk Solstice beer share. Pours dark bronze brown with a small frothy off-white head. Aroma of caramel, malt, biscuit, black treacle, dried fruits, liquorice. Moderate sweetness and medium roasted bitterness. Medium body, average to soft carbonation. Nice dry fruity bitter chocolate finish. Enjoyable.
