Description
Hambleton Brewery was born in 1991, when Nick Stafford decided to start a brewery at the bottom of his in-laws’ garden.in a converted outbuilding at the brewer's in-laws house in Holme-on-Swale. Success of the beers lead to a need to expand which resulted in a moved to a location at the opposite end of the village, The Brewery, Holme-on-Swale, in 1994. Brewing capacity was doubled in 2000. The brewery relocated to its current address in 2007.

Very dark color; nice head. Quite nice aroma, with roasted malts, chocolate, young beech wood. Malty taste, caramel, light liquorice, roasted malt. Ends with delicate chocolate and roasted malt, but not enough bitter. Really interesting.

I love this porter. Excellent chocolatey aroma with a tinge of roastiness. Flavor is more of the same: really smooth chocolateyness and a nice roasted finish. Dark brown-red with large solid head, heavy lacing. Overall just nice, and pairs well with food.
