Samuel Smiths Taddy Porter

From bottle : Pours a very dark brown...almost black, with a small beige head. A good roasted malt aroma. Flavor is much the same, a roasty taste, smooth with no real bitterness. A bit full bodied, nice going down, with a somewhat alcohaly aftertaste, but not to bad.

sweet smoky aroma overpowering. roasted chocolate flavor. roasted carmel flavor. basically burnt taste

Pours out big and black with a small off white head. Sweet oily thick aroma with a hint of red wine (merlot?). Taste is very smooth with roasted chocolate malt in the flavor. The roasted malt is also on the palate afterwards, giving it a nice dry finish. All nicely balanced, a real classic of the style and one of my faves.

Pours black into the the english pint with a small tan head and nice thick lacing. A very thick chocolately scent with notes of coffee and roastiness. There was a hint of vanilla with coffee beans, malt and roasted barley to taste. A very coating, creamy mouthfeel.

Overall very solid beer. Bottle- 12 oz. Pours a coffee color with little head and a semi-sweet aroma. Flavor has hints of coffee and chocolate and sits well on the palate. I had this one outside on a 100 degree day and it was really refreshing, despite being a more typical cold weather brew.

great looking beer, although was disappointed at the lack of an original bottle, it’s petty, i know. great, long lasting head, to compliment the looks of the beer. detected a bit of coffee, chocolate, peanut butter, and maybe on a whim, some soy sauce. it’s a pretty filling brew, and i don’t know how many i would be able to stomach in one sitting, but would be perfect for coming home from work and enjoying a great tasting beer, or substituting a desert for this fine beverage. had to deduct a few points off the over all because i am a cheap bastard, as this beer is a tad pricey, and not readily available within my area.

Bottle: Pours very dark with a decent head/ Good aroma of chocolate and malt. Pretty good, but a little bland compared to the top porters. Very easy to drink.
