COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This is very consistent with the intent of those who brewed on the site on the banks of the Eden Estuary in the 19th Century. The Seggie Brewers back then, looked to ’make great drinkable beer for the people of the area, their visitors and friends’
Based on a classic recipe for porter which dates from the 17th Century. A blend of pale, chocolate, black and munich malt along with roasted barley and of course the more unusual brown malt. The toasty, coffee, burnt bittersweet aroma.

330ml bottle from Stockbridge farmers market. Thin tan head with no lacing. Body is very dark, almost black. Chocolate and coffee on the nose, flavour is more chocolate and coffee followed by some liquorice and berries. Mouthfeel is a bit thin, medium carbonation. Decent effort.

AshtonMcCobb (1488) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - APR 14, 2013

33cl bottle - sample from Victoria at Stockbridge Market. Pours opaque black with a nice creamy fawn head. The nose is instantly liquorice and maybe even some charcoal. The taste is a little more creamy with gentle chocolate, more liquorice and some cream. The palate is probably the most impressive part of this - a really rich malt profile leads into a large but tight structure. The texture in the mid-section is still rich and very tight. The finish is elegant. Overall, a really well made Porter.
