Description
Black Forest is a decadent, velvet-smooth porter inspired by the dark, luxurious porters of old London. Waves of roasted coffee, oak and bittersweet dark chocolate rise from the glass before rich espresso, treacle and deeply charred malts flood the palate. Thick, luscious and dangerously drinkable, it finishes with lingering notes of dark fruit and cocoa bitterness that seem to last forever.

Delivery Information

We use a courier that provides a next day service (weekdays only) and your parcel may require a signature upon delivery. We try to get parcels dispatched within 2 working days of placing your order but during busy periods it may take a bit longer. We do not dispatch on Fridays as we prefer your beer to not be waiting in an unknown warehouse over the weekend

Occasionally we will be unable to fulfil an order due to stock shortages or other issues beyond our control. In these cases we will contact you to discuss the challenges we are facing and what we propose to do. Please always use a valid email address and phone number when ordering.

A delivery charge of £6.99 will be applied to each order regardless of the quantity of products and we ship in double walled boxes which will hold between 12 and 24 cans. If you order more than 24 cans then additional boxes will sent with your order at no extra charge.

We currently deliver to England, Wales and Scottish Lowlands only. Please contact us if you have specific delivery requirements

Please note that the tracking number included on this dispatch email may take a few hours to show in the courier’s system so don’t worry if it doesn’t show you the details of delivery immediately.

If you are not in when delivery is made a card will be left with contact details for you to arrange another delivery. Should these delivery attempts fail, the goods will eventually be returned to us and a full credit for the product will be issued to your account, minus the delivery charge.
