A traditional session London Porter based on an old recipe using English Pale, Crystal and Chocolate Malts, Fuggles and Goldings Hops. These produce a dark beer with malty body and bitterness balanced with a hint of coffee and liquorice.

Murky, deep dark brown beer with decent carbonation creates a rich, three-finger, cappuccino-colored, soft cotton head that decorates the surface basically throughout the entire drink.
The fragrance is rather mild, emitting aromas of dark roasted malt and faint cane sugar.
The palate serves semidry dark malt with a distinctly roasty twist, completed by a bit of rye bread and rye dough. The taste is exceptionally full; I could guess in a blind test that it's 6.5 % but it's actually merely 4.0 %. Quite an amazing trick!
Medium-full body. The beer ends with smooth mocha that oils the tongue gently. Additionally, the finish offers dry burned malt which is not as full as upfront. The aftertaste lasts for medium duration.
The mouthfeel is somewhat dry, mildly roasty and palatably medium-full.
