Export Stout is one of our most quintessential dark beers, based on an 1890
recipe from the Truman Brewery in Brick Lane, with which we’ve tried to maintain
a certain faithfulness in spirit, while also adapting and modifying according to
the necessities of modern brewing. These 19th century London recipes for strong
dark beers (we use a few different ones across various of our beers) hold at
their centre the abundant use of both black malt and brown malt.

The black malt brings lots of burnt toast, overly roasted coffee flavours, and
an assertive acidity.  Brown malt is a specifically London ingredient, and adds
so much depth to these beers and a certain old-fashionedness: leather, tar,
tobacco. It feels to us like these anchor our beers in place, in London,
cleaving to this cities history of brewing.

The resulting beer is dark, dark black, with an oily texture, loads of rich
dried fruit and alcohol warmth, with accents of leather, smoke, vanilla and
cocoa, and then a herbal hop bitterness on top.
