Otley Brewing Company – O6 PORTER 6.6% Cilfynydd, Pontypridd

A deeply satisfying old style porter with deep full flavours including, chocolate, coffee and chicory.  Champion Beer of Wales 2009 [Porters]. Great Taste Award Gold 2011.

Burton Bridge – DAMSON PORTER 4.5% Burton on Trent

Fruity nose and palate, with bitter-sweet after palate.  Brewed with the addition of damson juice to smooth out the bitterness and add a little sweetness.

Dark Star – 1910 PORTER 5.6% West Sussex

Six different malts give a real depth to this beer, which is hopped at five stages of the brewing process to allow the character of the traditional hops to shine through.

Dark Star – ART OF DARKNESS 3.5% West Sussex

Low gravity beer with a big heart.  Classic roasted flavours with a hint of sweetness.  Fruity and spicy in perfect balance.  Very drinkable.

Titanic – CHOCOLATE AND VANILLA STOUT 4.5% Stoke on Trent

Rich body with a bitter edge, and a sweetness that comes from the addition of Chocolate and Madagascan Vanilla.  A rich and opulent beverage!

R.C.H. – OLD SLUG PORTER 4.5% Weston Super Mare

Delicious traditional porter with full bodied taste of chocolate, coffee, blackcurrant and and black cherry with good aroma.  Near black in colour with a thick tight head that leaves a trail down the side of the glass like a slug!

Dancing Duck – DARK DRAKE 4.5% Derby

Deep, rich, oatmeal stout.  Delicious, malty, caramel and liquorice flavours combine wonderfully in a smooth drinking velvety stout with freshly roasted coffee and toffee finish.

Bristol Beer Factory – MILK STOUT 4.5% Bristol

Award winning, traditionally full bodied stout.  Unfermentable lactose sugar, added during the boil, sweetens the chocolate and the roasted flavours derived from the malt

Oakham Ales – BLACK HOLE PORTER 5.5% Peterborough

Big, dark malt flavours in this almost black beer combine with a sweet, fruity hop taste to make this strong porter extremely drinkable for its strength
