Fuggles, Goldings, Celeia and Aurora hops. Clear deep amber brown beer, tidy bubbly pale tan head. Smooth palate, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Bright chocolatey malts well integrated with blackcurrant and a whisper of cherry. Trace of mint. There is more English hop goodness going on but the flavours are too hard for this palate to pick apart. Light crisp fruity chocolate finish. A very fine and very sessionable porter.

Bottle shared with the crew at C&R House. Pours brown with a creamy tan head: the nose holds burnt toast, a little licorice, earth, berries. Light sweet flavour with more berries, plum, toasted leaves, a little charcoal. Light bodied with velvety texture. Nicely balanced finish with a bit more ashy roast, raisin and plum, dry cocoa. Enjoyable British fare.

Bottle 500ml (AIH53, ABM)
Dark brown-ruby color, small brownish head. Toasted nose has licorice and some lactose. Light-bodied. Ok for ABV. Licorice, tar, metal, ash and lactose in the flavor. Interesting combination. Unfortunately it does not work over so thin body.
