RCH Old Slug Porter

A dark ruby red beer with a small brown head. The aroma is very light of chocolate. The flavor is of roasted malts and chocolate which in the middle is taken over by notes of coffee combined with some sourness. It ends on a rather dry note both from hops and malts.

(Bottle 50 cl) Very dark brown, close to black, with a vague underlying reddish tint. Creamy, beige head leaving a pretty lacework. Aroma of hard roasted malts with a lightly burned note. Rather light body, very malty, lightly burned flavours. Dry, but still soft and very accessible. 281105
