Cobbold’s Brewery, forerunner of Tolly Cobbold, started brewing in Ipswich in 1746. This beer, unusually pale for a porter, is based on Cobbold’s brewing books from 1785 to 1827. Using floor malt, suffolk and maidstones hops and a 3 stage fermentation described in these records, our aim is to match this beer as closely as possible.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of sweet and roasted malt as well as lighter notes of chocolate and berries. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of roasted malt and chocolate as well as light notes of burnt malt, leading to a very dry bitter finish. Thanks fonefan for sharing.

Bottle, thx to fonefan. A clear, copper-colored beer with lots of floaties, and a beige head. Dusty, charcoal-like, burnt aroma with a bonfire-like sourness. Medium-bodied and dry in the mouth, with flavors of bonfire, burnt malt and coffee. Some coffee-like bitterness. It’s fun that they are re-creating old reciepes, but I didn’t care too much for the resulting beer. Too charcoal-ish. (080823)

Bottle in a mixed case posted out from the brewery Oct 08, consumed 25-10-08 This beer pours more dark brown than amber with large off white head. Aroma is very malty but both Loz and I picked up a distinct but very nice smokiness to both the aroma and flavour of this beer, in fact it was a little like smoked or burnt coffee. Smooth chocolate and pleasant roastiness complete the picture, its another great beer from Old Chimneys.
