very unique and flavorful porter. Nicely blends many flavors into a strong but not singularly overpowering taste. Very repeatable beverage and another classic Samuel Smith.

This Samuel Smith Taddy Porter (1 pt. 2.7 oz. bottle) was excellent, maybe the best porter I’ve ever drunk. It was a deep, deep ruby-brown, just about black, with a pretty but short-lived chocolate-colored head. It had a strong roasted, smoky, maybe even oaky, aroma. Sweet hints of coffee and chocolate bolstered the malt taste. Again, this is an outstanding porter.

Poured a dark brown with a decent size tan head. The aroma had me thinking that this wasn’t gonig to be that great. It had some dark malt in there, but something else that just didn’t smell right. The taste was fantastic. Sweet dark malt, some chocolate and a hint of coffee and caramel. A better aroma would have made this so much better. Still a very good brew.

This is a fantastic porter...amazingly complex. At first it seemed a bit thin to my liking...but got way better as I went along (as it warmed, I guess). This is one of the beers that even to my untrained tastebuds, I can detect a change in taste as I drink. The roasted malt and chocolate flavor hits you right away...then there is a distinct fruitiness that the reviews seem to differ on what it is (I swear it tasted like apple to me), but it was good...and then the coffee taste at the end. This was a darned good beer and worth seeking out. Plus, "Taddy Porter" is just a cool name.

Molasses malt aroma; dark brown ale; slightly bitter, malty flavor; clean finish.
