Powerhouse Porter
A rich, dark chocolate flavour and an aroma of toasted malt and winter fruits define this London porter. Brown, chocolate, crystal and pale malts and roasted barley meet Challenger, Boadicea, Goldings and Fuggles hops, at 4.9%. It launched as the first beer of Sambrook's seasonal range, is named after Battersea Power Station and is now one of the four regular cask ales.

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink within 6–12 months for best results. Baltic Porters can be aged longer.
