RCH Old Slug Porter

Bottle conditioned pint. Pours a translucent dark brown with a good tan head. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Aroma of yeast, chocolate and roast. Molasses and coffee taste, and the hops show put in a n appearance for the finish.

500 ml bottle. Almost black body with a beige head. Aroma is roasted malt, coffee and chocolate with a little hint of liquorices, very nice. Flavor is surprisingly mild, roasted malt, coffee and chocolate. Really nice sample of a well composed beer at only 4,5% ABV.

bottle, bought at Tucker’s Maltings in Newton Abbot. Blackcolour, lovelly aroma of coffee and chocolate. Full-bodied, lovelly flavours of chocolate, toffee, coffee, roasted malt. Wel-rounded by hops and a pleasant fruitiness.

Bottle. Pours a deep dark brown with a thick dark head. Very thin mouthfeel. Aroma of roasted chestnuts, sugar, and coffee. Maybe burnt cinnamon. Taste is stale coffee and sourness like someone left the coffee filter in the coffee pot for a week.

50 cl bottle. Almost black color. Brown, moderate head. Coffee and dark malt in aroma. Flavor is leather, tar, liqorice, burned.

Very impressive malty first taste. BLACK, with a very slight tan head that sits on top. Smells sweet, but finishes very clean. Definitely a must-try.

500 ml bottle. Black, but lets quite a bit of light through, so perhaps deserves to be called dark brown instead? Throws a tall fine-laced beige head that really clings to the glass. Roasted barley aroma. Quite clean and enhanced by grassy English hops. Watery flavour with a little roastes character and a little sweetness towards the finish, but overall this is a rather light beer. Could have used a lot more malts. A bit bland and boring, but OK for a beer this low in alcohol.

Whata great find at the grocery in the middle-of-no-where-ohio. Not sure about the Brewers namesake? It is an excellent smooth porter. Roasted chocolatey malts, very nice...
