An almost black colored beer, with a thick beige foamed head. The aroma caramel, cherries, roasted malts. The taste has little chocolate notes, roasted malts, fruity like cherries and peaches. Smokey bitter and dry. The aftertaste has some bitter and stays for a while.

amberish black (clear) with a good beige head leaving lace.very rich and strong with coffee dark chocolate liquorice hops and lots of roasted malts.

Bottle from Charles Street Liquors in Boston. Glugs out of bottle a chocolate color, and sits with a one-finger head that dissipates to mere lacing within a minute. Aroma is semisweet chocolate, charcoal/smoke, coffee, biscuit and some licorice. Flavor hits your mouth with a crispness of dark flavors that is very attractive. Palate is dry, with light carbonation. Primary flavors are roasts, smoke and chocolate, but there is definitely a sweeter component that underpins the flavor profile of London Porter. Dark, but just quaffable (palate and flavor) enough to keep this from being a one-and-done type of brew. Highly recommended.

12oz. Pours black black black with amber highlights and a light brown head. Wow, talk about smokey! This beer has smoked action happening in the nose and throughout the body like crazy! They could easily claim this to be a smoked porter. There is some chocolate and roasted malt but all I can think about is how smokey it is. Has a bit of a sawdust aftertaste that I’m not to keen on and is lacking the complexity to be scored like an excellent beer would. That said it is a very, very, very tasty porter.

Pours a very dark red, almost black. Medium tan head with large bubbles. Aroma is of roasted nuts a dark chocolate. Flavor is of dark chocolate and caramel. Flavor grows on you as you go. Fairly bitter finish. Good mouthfeel. Good, not great.
