This porter was inspired from the murky depths of the caves of the Clwyd Range. Porter in its true classic style black and roasted, bursting with British Golding Hops.

Cask at Hops, Crewe. Pours almost black with minimal beige head. Has a strong aroma with coffee, chocolate and roasted malts prominent. Mouthfeel is slightly sweet and creamy, Flavours are mainly roast malts and dark fruits on a caramel base. Later on coffee and aniseed feature, together with hints of molasses. Chocolate and coffee in the finish. This is excellent – had it before but don’t remember it being so good.

On cask at the Bow Bar. Deep brown rather than black in colour. Decent head. Biscuits and light charcoal on nose. Confirmed on taste and the merest hint of chocolate. Medium bodied with a creamy yet crunchy texture and a long dry finish. A decent porter and plenty of taste for normal-ish ABV.
