COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cold fermented and lagered. Only available in 330ml bottles.
"Porter style Ale. Chocolate and beer! Are we Mad? We’d rather say passionate. We marry the soothing flavour of this complex malt barley grist with a hint of dark chocolate. This is a beer for your more self-indulgent moments. Great for lazy afternoons or long evenings, it is best served chilled with your feet up, watching the sun go down. Like we say – chilled."
"A silky-smooth suppertime beer, created using dark malts and chocolate. Pronounced vanilla notes fuse the chocolate and malts together to give a rich, warming, flavour that also works well as a complement to fruity desserts, summer puddings and autumn berries."

AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20

Linnet (418) - Umeå, SWEDEN - FEB 3, 2012

Ar: bread, syrup, roastiness but rather soft. Pumpernickel bread, reminds me of a dunkel. Ap: transluscent brown colour, medium creamy beige head, lacing. F: acidity, roastiness, coffee, chocolate, big nice bite and earthy hops. In the finish there is a weird skunky flavour that I can’t define, but it is disturbing enough to ruin the experience for me. M: flat and a bit watery T: This one was not for me.

slakemythirst (78) - - JAN 30, 2012

Ja..choklad (!) och lätta toner av vanilj. Lagom kropp och välbalanserad. Det enda jag kan direkt gnälla över är den beläggning jag fick på tunga och gom..billig choklad gör i regel precis samma sak,,Menmen. Slutsats: Go o gla..kex chokla..

AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20

ElDesmadre (378) - Mikołów, POLAND - JAN 23, 2012

Pours elegant dark brown with a small head. Aroma is sweet-bitter, rich and very chocolatey in the vein of a high class dark chocolate. Also present is some coffee that blends in nicely with the chocolate, as well as a forest fruit quality that is reminiscent of a Belgian dubbel. Rather low carbonation, medium body, velvety mouthfeel. Very chocolatey taste with some freshly ground coffeebeans and a subtle nuttiness in the finish. Light to medium bitterness, long, rich and warming aftertaste. A delight.

berkshirejohn (2834) - Bracknell, Berkshire, ENGLAND - JAN 19, 2012

33cl bottle from Waitrose, labelled as Meantime Chocolate Porter. Deep chocolate brown with a beige head; milk chocolate aroma; smooth and silky with a rich chocolate flavour with some burnt malts; and a gently bitter finish. Rather one dimensional.

CraftBeerNick (107) - London Town, Greater London, ENGLAND - JAN 4, 2012

Bottle from Waitrose, 4th January 2012. Pours red black, nice head. Not a great deal of aroma. No depth iin the flavour, needs more and the palate is watery.

AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20

jackl (389) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - DEC 29, 2011

Bottle. Deep brown color with a modest tan head. The nose is of sweet chocolate, mild roasted malts, some mellow coffee. The taste is moderately sweet, with a semi-dry somewhat roasted finish. The body is medium, the texture oily. Soft carbonation. Overall, a reasonable, sweet beer. One of Meantime’s better offerings.
