Can at home in Hackney - picked up from Clapton Craft OG. Pours clear brown with a modest, foamy khaki head. Light sweet flavour with notes of dusty milk chocolate, subtle roast, dark malts, mild earthy bitterness. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finishes with more semi-sweet dark malts, chalky cocoa, low bitterness. So so overall. Drinks fine.

440ml can bought from Clapton Craft and drunk at home. Dark brown, opaque with a quickly dissipating beige/khaki head. Aroma of dark malts, coffee grounds, some ash. Sweetness at first in the taste, hints of plum, turning bitter with espresso and tobacco leaf in the finish. Medium body with carbonation on the low side. A brilliant understated porter.
