We’ve enjoyed many excellent fruit porters over the years and thought it high time (after 29 years and 5 months) that we brewed one ourselves.
So to get the beer spot-on and give it a unique Oakham twist, we’ve done some work with a specialist flavourings house and the result is our March 2023 seasonal beer.
“Fruit Crumble Porter” (4.0% ABV).
Expect flavours of summer and forest fruits, vanilla custard plus some toffee and caramel notes – all on a complex biscuity malt background.

On gravity at the Volunteer, Bristol 16/4/2023. Almost black in colour and opaque, with a slight, beige, head. Juicy dark berries, some creamy oats, vanilla and a touch of toastiness in the finish. East drinking and good for it.

Handpull cask at the Salmon, Leicester. Dark brown, a little bit translucent, will a tight beige head. Roasted malt, pie crust, blackberries in the aroma.sweet and fruity initial taste taken over by a dogged bitterness. Light notes of burnt pastry. Light body with full carbonation. Wicked stuff. Oakham at their best.
