Samuel Smiths Taddy Porter

Brewed by Samuel Smith
Style: Porter
Tadcaster, England

poured dark - nice tight head that stayed and left very nice lacing. The aroma was smokey, toasty malts. Flavor was much the same. nice palate - Very good porter - the portors just leave me wanting a bit more flavor. Very smooth and likely too smooth for me. All around a good brew.

Poured from a 550ml bottle. Black in color, nearly opaque with creamy 2 finger, light tan head. Head dissipates in a few minutes leaving nice lacing. Aroma of toasted malt and dried fruit. Tastes delicious. Heavy malt flavor with notes of chocolate, toffee and dried prunes. Full mouthfeel with toasty malt finish. Very drinkable. The kind of quality I’ve come to expect from Samuel Smith’s.

Dark poor with copper head that disipated to nothing. Nice nutty mouth feel roasted malt and subtle nut flavor. Slight coffe note maybe the breakfast stout I had 2 days ago ruined my palate but this one is nice but not bold.

Amazing porter. poured a dark brown/black quickly disapating white head. Nice medium palate. Nose of soy, molasses, dark roast somewhat smokey. Flavors of smoked malts, soy, dark chocolate, pulled out a lot of coffee. This is a very rich porter. What’s interesting is how close this brew is to its imperial stout counter part.

Opaque appearance with a mild carbonated head, complex molasses scent with a quiff of caramel, robust coffee taste that lasts sufficiently, overall you wouldn’t want more than three to four of these but you’ll enjoy the ones you have... will try again

Aromas of malt and mocha, pours pretty dark brown, quickly dissipating head, but decent lacing. Flavors: roasty, toasted vanilla notes, some coffee. Pretty dry, drinks smooth. Not quite as full in body as I’d like for this style.

Bottle. Moderate malt aromas of dark bread, toasted, dark chocolate and strong coffee, light notes of resin and earth for the hops and yeast, with brown sugar, vanilla and cola in the background. Head is frothy, off-white to light brown with fair lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is dark brown with a red tint. Flavor starts moderately sweet and lightly acidic, then the long finish is lightly acidic, moderately bitter and a touch sour. Palate is just about perfect, being medium bodied, oily in texture and has a soft carbonation. It finishes lightly dry. A great after dinner drink with an awesome mouthfeel.

Bottle. Poured a dark brown/almost black with a two finger tan head. Aroma of chocolate, toffee and maybe some alcohol. Flavor was roasty with nuts and bitter chocolate. Good beer. Needs a heavier body though.
