Appearance: Take a butcher’s at this beauty. Pours out darker than a chimney sweep’s hat.
Aroma: Stick yer nose in and have a good sniff. You’ll get a proper whiff of dark sweet malt, with a cheeky hint of rye spice. There’s notes of chocolate and sugar like the smell waftin’ out of the baker’s at dawn.
Flavour: Now, take a swig and let it roll over yer tongue. You’ll get a rich, roasted malt flavour, with chocolate and caramel notes, balanced by the spicy kick of rye. It’s like a walk down Borough Market, with all the best flavours comin’ together in harmony. There’s a touch of smokiness and a bit of toffee sweetness at the end.
Mouthfeel: This Rye Porter’s got a medium body, smooth as a London cab ride, with just the right amount of fizz to keep things lively. It’s as comforting as a warm scarf on a chilly day, and goes down as easy as a cheeky pint with yer mates.
Pairings: Perfect with a plate of pie and mash, a hunk of mature cheddar, or a slice of rich, sticky pudding. From the MAC Collective kitchen, i’m choosing Loaded Fries, or whatever the guys have on the smoker. It’s the ideal pint for those cold nights when there’s a fire roaring or when it’s flogging with rain and Bucketty’s packed with good company.
Pommy geezer version for a Pom beer.
IMO like any good dark beer, this gets better when it warms up a touch.

An imperial porter that's as suave as Roger Moore and as indulgent as a perfectly toasted S'more.
This dry sour is packed with fresh yellow plum puree to give a fresh and fruity flavour.
