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.

50cl bottle. Pours amber brown with a creamy white head. Nose is roasted & very ashy. coffee & burnt malts with hints of smoke. Well made - but not my thing really!

Bottle at home ... Thanks to Old Chimey for letting me talk him into shipping me a few cases of his beer ... Wonderfull scarlet red ... very aromatic nose woody and pollen slight smokeyness little tobacco ... deep tobacco flavour ... lots of caramel malts ... very interesting ... little spice ... Bit overy drying in linger thats a bit of a shame. But despite this, this is one of those beers, that i keep looking over at the small sample i gave my wife thinking "will she notice if i drink her share".
