RCH Old Slug Porter

Dark brown coloured, small brown head. Aoma and flavour of roasted malts, not very complex. Very bitter finish. Could use some more body.

Weird commercial description: "As the beer leaves a trail down the glass as you drink it like a slug, that’s how the beer was named." I assumed it was named after a regular at the pub. Bottle conditioned - It pours a deep mahogany color with a tall, creamy tan head that leaves slug slime on the side of your glass as you imbibe. The aroma is rich, nutty malts and chocolate with hints of dark, juicy fruit. It a bit on the light-bodied side, but delivers a rich taste of toffee and nuts and fruits. The chocolate returns for the creamy finish. Nice drink, except for the slimy trail...

Bottle. Dark brown in color with a nice tan head. Roasty aroma. Caramel notes. Chocolate notes. Malty, roasty flavor. Slightly yeasty flavor. Nice beer.

Bottle. Dark brown, tan head. Roasty chocolate aroma. Malty roasty, and slightly yeasty in flavor. May be slightly old. A little overcarbonated. Still decent. Reminds me of homebrew.

Cellar Temp. Acrid coffee aroma. Not opaque, but a dark, dark ruby. Vinous flavors with almost a grape juice background. Finishes with… pepper! WTF! It comes from out of nowhere! Slightly watery but strangely flavorful. Fun beer.

Bottle. Nose-very much chocolate and coffee. Almost all opaque body. No head, just a film of bubbles. Good base porter flavor, but a little thin. Notes of coffee, fig, grape, and lactics.

pours black with a light tan head. smokey roast aroma. sweet toffee and smoke flavor. nice roast flavor throughout. a solid porter with a nice even sweet finish and a balance of bitterness.

Bottle. Jet black colour. Slightly fruity taste with some roastness but lacks depth for me.
