Commercial Description:
Cask; Seasonal - March. Also available very occasionally bottle conditioned. Originally called 1859 Porter.
NOTE: Only ratings for the cask and bottle-conditioned versions should be posted here. There is a separate listing for the much more common pasteurised bottle version.
We have taken a porter recipe of 1859 from Henry Harvey’s brewing journal and reproduced it faithfully using pale ale malt, crystal malt, black malt, locally grown hops, our own spring water and yeast strain. We have subsequently bottled the beer in both pasteurised and bottle conditioned form. However, each March draught 1859 Porter is on sale for one month only as part of our programme of ‘Seasonal Brews’.

<i>Cask at EBF08.</i> Dark brown. Metallic, somewhat artificial aroma. Some chocolate in the flavour with a very dry bitterness.

Cask (EBF2008)<br /> Hoppy aroma, certainly some Burton snatch to it (Thanks, Silk, for the nose pointers!). Beef fat taste. Lovely soft palate, both savoury but with a nice tingle. Burnt flesh. Very wacky, but rather tasty.

Cask at EBF 2008. Dark brown colour with a very small head. Not much aroma, sweet if any. Dry taste of hops.
