Roasted Barley and Pale, Crystal and Chocolate Malts form the backbone of this smooth porter, with a biscuity richness and dark carmel flavours. A bittersweet bitterness comes from quintessential Northdown hops, with a delicate hop aroma from the careful introduction of Fuggles towards the end of the boil. The stronger alcohol content of this brew cuts through the increased malt levels and allows a greater depth of flavour to be appreciated on tasting.

750ml bottle. Archer Road Beer Stop, Sheffield. Clear, chestnut brown. Messy, creamy, tan head that stays the course. Nose has coffee truffle. Fudgy malts. Milky coffee. Dried fruit. Smells great. Taste is light, roast coffee bean bitter. Some chocolate sweetness. Light, vinous tang. Medium body. Soft and foamy carbonation. Finish gets more robust bitter with some earthy, ashy notes. Did the full bottle in no time. Really drinkable.

Black beer with an off-white head and a light, malty aroma. Flavour is lighter than I expected to. Earthy malt, bitter chocolate, some coffee as well.there’s a bit of fruitiness in the aftertaste too. It’s not spectacular but it’s a good, tasty stout and I could happily sit and have a few (though the 6.5% might be an issue on that front!)
