Malts: Chocolate, Dark Munich, Carafa 3, Pale & Wheat Hops: Bramling Cross. The addition of a generous helping of oats combines with a selection of malts to create a delightfully roasted and smooth mouthfeel. Flavours of coffee, chocolate and subtle spice come through in the finish of this easily drinkable Porter.
Best Enjoyed: Sat in a big cosy armchair by a roaring fire. Or by a campfire with mates. Or at a fireworks celebration. Basically, anywhere you can find a fire.

Handpull cask at the Blue Boar, Leicester. Dark brown with a ring of khaki head. Mild but tempting aroma of black coffee with some plummy notes. Taste is different from what I was expecting. There’s a stone fruit sourish sweetness tempered by a tangy hop bitterness. Slightly vinous in the finish, with sour plum in the aftertaste. It’s a bit messy in my opinion but there’s good material here. A cautious thumbs up.
