Commercial Description:
Avaailable on Keg and in 750ml bottles.
George Washington was a big fan of imported English Porter. By 1769 he'd lost his taste for British beers. After all, it was keeping the Redcoats fighting. Our Porter is based on a recipe from 1750. We bring you the original aromas and flavours of the beer that made London the world's brewing capital, flavours we know Washington would have loved. Time, care and attention have enabled us to produce a blend of beers bringing you the flavour of the 1750's. Share this beer with friends and enjoy with barbeques, fish or shellfish. The ruby colour & bottle conditioning are proof of its heritage and authenticity.

(Bottle on 2008-08-16) Deep reddish brown. Clear. Medium-sized fizzy head that disappeared quickly. Liquorice and roastedness in nose. Full-bodied palate with quite a lot carbonation. Chocolate, roastedness, light bitterness, some coffee and sweetness in taste. Quite nice.

Pours a dark brown with a thin tan head. Nice coffee and chocolate aroma. Smooth flavor. A very well done Porter. A very sweet finish, but good nonetheless. My first beer from Meantime, I hope to have some more.

750ml Bottle: Aroma of malts, coffee, chocolate, ash, nuts, and a hint of roasting. Poured dark brown with a hint of ruby in color and a large, tan head that diminished but lasted throughout. Clear. Slightly sparkling. Ok lacing. Flavor is light to medium sweet. Tastes of cocoa, coffee, cream, sugar, and roasting. Medium body. Chalky texture. Average to lively carbonation. Sweet, cocoa and sugar finish is a bit dry.

Dark brown/amber pour, tan head. Roasted coffee, malts, in the nose. The same in the mouth plus some chocolates. Pretty carbonated with a clean finish. Might be a little light bodied, but good overall.

> I reckon this was excellent-not just a cool bottle -no . Big arse beige above that ruby Porter colour siganture. I love these corked bottles. MMMMMMM Meantime Porter’s flavours are roasted as a feature .With shitloads of roast chocolate .A bit dry and burnt -maybe some red wine too. Look, this is cool stuff.
