COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask & Bottle conditioned - Seasonal.
Very dark ruby Porter brewed with generous amounts of Chocolate and dark Crystal malts to give rich aromas of chocolate, molasses and coffee. The addition of Ruby Port and pure red grape juice along with Fuggles and Bramling Cross hops create a soft fruity and spice finish.

Lovely gently chocolatey aroma. Perfect porter look - dark body and a large frothy beige head. Lovely in the mouth - smooth, sweetish, roasty and toasty. So mellow, a great sessionable porter.
