The brewery: "Welcome to Britain's oldest brewer. We’re dedicated to brewing great beer and running the best pubs. Just as our beers span the range of classical, heritage and modern, so our pubs reflect the character and diversity of their locations. With more than 300 pubs throughout London and the South East, from the historic heart of the City to the Kent coastline, there is a Shepherd Neame pub to suit all tastes."
The beer: "A satin-smooth and silky traditional London-style porter, produced by Shepherd Neame, Britain's oldest brewer. Sticks of liquorice, added to the rich roster of dark malts, give this dark beer a black cherry, plummy aroma. On the palate, the full-bodied yet quenching beer delivers chocolate and prune flavours and a long smoky finish. It is brewed with charred malt and English hops to give a truly unique flavour."
I like this, loved the smokiness to it. very enjoyable. 5.0% A.B.V
