A Dark & Stormy London Porter
Brewed using Pale, Crystal, Black and Chocolate malts together with Bobek and Bramling Cross hops. A dark brown porter with a pronounced depth of flavour.
Black Ven takes its name from the Blue Lias cliffs to the East of Lyme Regis where the famous palaeontologist Mary Anning found her first Ichthyosaur in 1811.

Cask. Black colour with a small off-white head. Aroma is roasted malts, some ashes, mild dark ripe fruit with some slight berries and toffee as well. Flavour is ashes, roasted malts, some berries and mild chocolaty/coffeeish notes as well. Quite pleasantly balanced porter.

Bottle. Near black in colour with no head. Aroma of dark fruit, milk chocolate and a touch of roasted malts. Flavour had plenty more fruit, some caramel and a dryish finish. A bit thin bodied, but ok.
