Whitbread London Porter

Good man. You won't regret it.

Are you sure
One of the other reasons I've been holding off buying the book was because it'll probably call for smaller brew lengths, and that will require new gear

Funny you should mention that, but that is exactly what I'm doing, for exactly that reason

What a crackin' pint of proper heavy duty foie gras rich tasty sweet charcoal fruity loveliness this beer has been. Sure I've only got a pint or so left now and am v disappointed this is the case. This beer IMHO deserves the praise it receives from others and myself. Brew it...wait (quite a long time) and it'll definately deliver. Am so pleased I brewed this.

With a description like that, who can argue?

Nah, modern brown malt isn't smoked.

The usual suspects sell it - it's usually under the roasted malt section.
