4.9% Fruited Porter
Our infamous, strong, dark porter that has re-defined the sector. A well-rounded speciality porter with a sweet, fruity nose. Notes of plum and other stone fruits are present throughout, balanced against a delicate blend of classic hops. The richness of such a rotund beer is brought to an even keel by the late addition of Goldings hops and natural plum flavouring.
