Samuel Smiths Taddy Porter

Brewed by Samuel Smith
Style: Porter
Tadcaster, England

Pours an almost opaque black with a tan head. Mouthfeel is light, with a very roasted flavour, but no bitter aftertaste, which makes it easygoing with many meals. Very nice.

Weak foamy light brown colour. Black colour. Aroma is malty with licorice and a hint of raisins notes. Flavor is malty too with coffee tones, ending in a moderately roasty finish. Light bodied.

Pour is dark brown with a tan head. On the nose caramel and malt. Taste like caramel espresso, with a nice touch of malt and bitterness to balance this beer out. Maybe a bit too thin for the style.

Nice roast malt aroma. Clear amber brown with small white head. Deep roast and chocolate malt flavor with some brown sugar, molasses notes and slight grain astringency. Light body with fairly high carbonation. Very dry slightly bitter finish. Solid - very tasty beer.

Bottle. Light sweet smell of chocolate, a little bit of liquor and mocha. Large brown foamy head, quite long lasting. The body is black. Light bitter taste, long duration. Flat carbonation, a very creamy texture and a full body. A very good beer!

Very, very good brew. Pours black, motor oil style, smells of toasted coffee. Dark, toasted flavor, super creamy palate. A meal of a beer. Great winter brew, will definitely revisit this in the colder months.

Very nice dark appearance with a head that starts full and recedes to reveal nice lacing patterns. Rich mocha coffee aroma, toasted malt also. The palate is nutty and full, well balanced between sweet and bitter. Very nice.

Dark, almost black. Tan head lasts a while. Serve at cellar temperature, Dark chocolate in the taste, feels great in the mouth. Some nuttiness. Aftertaste lingers a bit. Excellent beer.
