Meantime London Porter

Brilliant melanoidin and black patent incluenced ruby body with a root beer float head. Malty aroma, slight melanoidin nose with hints of caramel sweetness. Dedfinitely and Old World Britt take on the style. Warm, almost Christmas spiciness entwined with the malt. Flavor is more roasty that the aroma initimates. Black patent brings a well sculped coffee flavor onto the palate with a warming quality as well. Viscous body, a tad syrupy in parts. An enjoyable roasty, flavorful, moderately complex, and drinkable porter.

750ml bottle from Sainsburys.My 1600th rating. Deep tawny brown with a thin cream head; aroma of roast malts and coffee; deep roasted malt flavours with ripe red fruit, coffee, chocolate and wood smoke and a thin milky body; dry roasted malt and demarara sugar finish. Smooth and very drinkable.

Roasted malt aroma. Mahogany with a large off-white head. Flavour is very hoppy with distinct roast malt, some coffee notes. Medium-bodied with quite a bit of carbonation. Finishes dry roast malt. Not bad.

A dark brown beer with a nice looking tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, & chocolate. Taste was creamy milk chocolate, coffee, roasted malt, & had a slight Coke taste which may sound weird but only added to the overall flavor profile. There was some sweetness but was balanced out. A very nice, smooth, drinkable porter that I would like to get more of if only it wasn’t $10.00/750ml.

750ml bottle from Sainsburys. Mahogany coloured with reddish undertones. Big, frothy, off-white head and plenty of carbonation. Big, complex aroma of choclate, raosted malts, vanilla oak, preserved fruits, brazil nuts and a hint of herbs. Flavour, by contrast, was a bit disappointing: milky coffee and chocolate, with a sweet vanilla edge and dry finish. A bit thin in the mouth too, given the big flavours. Almost excellent, but proved a bit disappointing and clinical overall.

Thanks to Oscbert for this selection! Pours a dark red-brown with a creamy white head. Aroma is slightly nutty and malty, with brown sugar. Malty, nutty flavor as well, no hoppiness detected. Creamy, smooth mouthfeel. Overall, good minus.

750 ml. bottle. Pours a very dark brown with slight ruby highlights and a fluffy tan head. Serious roasted notes in the nose along with coffee, wood, and molasses. Great nose! Medium-high carbonation with a medium mouthfeel and a little dryness to it. Great roasted malt notes on the palate. Coffee, caramel, molasses, light earth notes, and a little booziness makes up the remainder of the palate. Medium-long finish with some lingering coffee and caramel notes. Overall this porter is very sessionable and enjoyable.
