What the brewer says: Velvety, rich and chock full of flavour with notes of coffee bean, cocoa, toasted hazelnuts and hint of dark berries.
Not my usual tipple but when in Rome, well London, it seemed rude not to try a traditional London ale. On offer at the excellent The Grape & Grain in Crystal Palace over the Christmas break was this from a very young (2011) brewery just a few miles away in Wandsworth.
Not a beer to rush and at 5.1% A.B.V you wouldn't want to.
