Old Chimneys Amber Porter

Brewed by Old Chimneys
Style: Porter
Diss, England

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of sweet and roasted malt as well as lighter notes of chocolate and berries. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of roasted malt and chocolate as well as light notes of burnt malt, leading to a very dry bitter finish. Thanks fonefan for sharing.

This bottled brew from JSquire at a rating party poured a head of foamy fine to medium sized tan colored bubbles that were and left behind a semi-opaque softly carbonated light brown colored body and an excellent lacing. The nice aroma was brown malt caramel malt burnt malt and licorice. The mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish malty aftertaste. The flavor contained notes of roasted malt and mild brown malt. A decent one that I would consider smelling again.

Dark copper with a small white head. Aroma is fruity with a hint of alcohol. Dry and malty flavour with a roasted touch.

Bottle bought from the brewery whilst on holiday in February 2009. Black and poured with a small head.Malty and slightly smoked.The burnt smokiness lingers for a while.An all round excellent porter.

Murky reddish brwon color with a foamy beige head. Big chocolate nose with some roasted grain and burnt toast notes. Flavors of chocolate, plums, dark toast, with a long finish of almost burnt coffee. Very nice porter. I would drink more of this if it was available. Thanks to cgarvieuk for the one I got.

500 ml bottle courtesy of a trade with cgarvieuk. Pours a dark brown that allows light to pass with a thin off-white head that completely disappeared after the first sip and left no lace. Very pleasant aroma of malt with chocolate, mild smoke, and some earthy peat notes as well. The flavor is malty as well, but there is much more smoke in the flavor than is present in the aroma. In addition, there is some very mild chcolate and peat. Dry, almost chalky, at the finish. An interesting and enjoyable porter.

Bottle, thx to fonefan. A clear, copper-colored beer with lots of floaties, and a beige head. Dusty, charcoal-like, burnt aroma with a bonfire-like sourness. Medium-bodied and dry in the mouth, with flavors of bonfire, burnt malt and coffee. Some coffee-like bitterness. It’s fun that they are re-creating old reciepes, but I didn’t care too much for the resulting beer. Too charcoal-ish. (080823)
