| Style | Brewery | Beer | ABV | Town / County | Tasting Notes | Location | Dietary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Porter and Stout | Five Points | Railway Porter | 4.8% | Hackney - Greater London | Smooth and full-bodied, Railway Porter delivers a simple one-two-punch of sweet chocolate and bitter coffee thanks to a combination of seven different malts. East Kent Goldings add a touch of honey. A tribute to our ancestors, the great London porter breweries of the past, and our most award winning beer! | BAR B | Vegan |
| Porter and Stout | Hop Back | Entire Stout | 4.5% | Downton - Wiltshire | A rich dark stout with a strong roasted malt flavour, and a long smooth aftertaste. Suitable for Vegans. | BAR B | Vegan |
| Porter and Stout | Iron Pier | Cast Iron Stout | 4.7% | Gravesend - Kent | Dark chocolate and coffee are hugely prominent in this highly drinkable smooth stout brewed with 7 different malts. | BAR B | Vegan |
| Porter and Stout | Sambrook's | Powerhouse Porter | 4.9% | Wandsworth - Greater London | Dark ruby brown sweetish porter with a pleasant fruity, roasted malt nose. Flavour is of roasty chocolate, dark fruits and hints of aged vintage marmalade spice with an underlying roasty bitterness. These flavours are also present in the long dry finish. | BAR C | |
| Porter and Stout | Three Acre | Ruby Porter | 4.2% | Uckfield - East Sussex | The 3AB Ruby Porter is a smooth and sessionable beer with complex, perfectly balanced coffee and cocoa flavours, finished with a well rounded bitterness from quality UK grown hops. Crafted to win over any dark beer sceptic. | BAR D | |
| Porter and Stout | Thurstons | Milk Stout | 4.5% | Woking - Surrey | A Traditional Milk Stout, Dark, creamy, and full bodied, with chocolate and coffee notes. | BAR D | |
| Porter and Stout | Tring | Tea Kettle Stout | 4.9% | Tring - Hertfordshire | A stout like no other. The antithesis of bitter Irish stouts, this is creamy, smooth with underlying chocolate notes imparted by generous amounts of roasted malts and oats. Pours with a dark body and ivory head. It’s a tall, dark handsome pint. | BAR D |
