3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20A: Pretty light on the aroma... a bit of malt.
A: Looks great. Pours a little thin but the head is a great cream color. Otherwise dark black.
T: Taste is alright. Roasty, malty. Nothing special but pretty solid. A bit of acidity in the finish. Very earthy as well. Hint of vanilla... agressive bitterness on the finish.
P: Sits pretty agressive. Medium/light body.
Overall a nice porter but not my favorite. There are some good notes of roastiness and malt is well balanced but overall the beer is a little light... The finish has a bit too much bitterness and a touch of acidity. I’m not really impressed by this beer and there are other porters I would rather reach for.

From pint bottle, it pours a deep brown with some lighter red-brown highlights at the edges and a thin but persistent cappuccino coloured head. Aromas of dark fruit, coffee, roasted malt, a little chocolate and a touch of cherry. Taste is dominated by some big fruit flavours of raisins, currants, orange peel before some milk coffee and chocolate kick in. The high point is a smooth, creamy mouth feel that’s just awesome. Really nice English porter.

Pours black with a nice brown foam. Leaves nice lacing as I drink. Good aroma full of roasted malts and some oats. Malty taste with a slight bitterness at the end. Nice full mouthfeel. Finishes clean. Very nice representation of a porter!
