Export Stout refermented in tank with 200g/l British Damsons
A special release of Export Stout refermented with 200grams per litre of British damsons to add a fruity and tart finish to our normal roasted and luxurious Export Stout.
Export Stout, London, 1890 – Damson
A recipe drawn from the past, reimagined for the present.
Our Export Stout is based on a 19th-century recipe from the Truman Brewery on Brick Lane. We’ve used it as a foundation, then slowly adapted it to suit our palate. What began as a faithful historical recreation has become something richer, more balanced – still bold, but more drinkable.

Tasting Notes
The black malt brings roasted coffee, burnt toast, and a sharp, assertive acidity. To soften that edge, we’ve added chocolate malt and a touch of crystal for sweetness. The result is a dark, oily beer with weight and warmth – rich with dried fruit, smoke, leather, and the kind of herbal hop bitterness that cuts through just enough. The Damson adds a ruity and tart finish to our normal roasted and luxurious Export Stout.
You’ll also find notes of tar, chocolate, and just a hint of alcohol heat. Deep and complex, this is a beer that invites time and attention.
