Samuel Smiths Taddy Porter

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.

Poured from a 550ml bottle into a Youngs Beer glass. Good Rocky Light brown head. About 1 inch high. Black, almost opaque appearance. Aroma: Brit Hops, raisin, chocolate, a little vanilla Taste: raisins, roasted malt, chocolate, a slight hop bitterness. Drinkability: one of the few porters/stouts I crave when it’s in the high 90’s in Texas. Mouthfeel, silky very nice for a low abv porter An incredible brew. One of the best porters I’ve had. Serving type: bottle

Dark brown, Sweet, but slightly tart like dark fruits that were a little green. Roasted malts, Dark chocolate, nutty, coffee.

V - dark dark brown with a huge airy head 4 A - chocolate, coffee/caramel 6 T - dark sugar, loads of malts 7 P - thin body, 3

Deep brown with ruby highlights and an average sized tan head. Aromas are of chocolate and toffee. Flavors are raisin, caramel, chocolate and licorice.

Wow! What a great beer. Immaculately crafted and quite full bodied (for a porter) yet only weights in at 5%. Has very nice lifted licorice and chocolate, long with a faint fruit cake and raisen note that clearly shows some RIS character. This is also evident on the nose. I love the balance right throughout.
