Export Stout London 1890
Based on a London export stout recipe from 1890 that the brewery has gradually adapted. Black malt brings roasted coffee, burnt toast and a sharp acidity; chocolate malt and a little crystal soften that edge. The beer is dark and oily with weight and warmth: dried fruit, smoke and leather, cut by a herbal hop bitterness. Notes of tar and chocolate and a hint of alcohol heat sit behind.
