Commercial Description:
Cask; Regular. Also available brewery conditioned and cold filtered in 500ml bottles.
This fine beer is a blend of a mature old ale with a younger light beer - just as a true Porter should be. The marriage produces an extremely characterful brew which is dark in colour and complex in taste.

Pours to fairly opaque reddish-brown with a thin, off-white head. Nose is roasted malts and fig. I was surprised with the complexity of this one. Flavor profile includes caramel, toffee, chocolate, and finishes with a slightly bitter roasted coffee note. Maybe a little thin on the palate, with a non-hop bitter aftertaste from the roasted malts. St. Peter’s has never impressed me, but this is a very drinkable, but highly complex beer that I will certainly be buying again.

Standard british porter. Black and clear. Has a low, offwhite head, mostly diminishing. Aroma is burnt, roasted. Flavor has a bitter finish. Watery texture. Dry. Laqurice.

Blind tasting - Poured reddish-amber with no head. Smelled of skunk, sugar, vanilla, and grain. Not too appetizing. Taste was better, with smooth malt and vanilla with a touch of brown sugar. It’s medium-bodied and oily, with just a bit of bitter on the finish. I’m not sure if we got a bad bottle, but this stuff wasn’t at all the quality I expected.

Pours a dark mahogany color with a tan head (short-lived). Nose full of malt, hops, charcoal, and light coffee. The flavor was a little thin I thought, dominated by the British flavor of choice: hops. Hoppy, malty, light chocolate flavor make this a pretty good beer.

Nice beer that is light and fully roasted. Light sweetness and lots of malts to go with the burnt roast. A nice one.

50 cl bottle at Øl&Mat09 in Oslo. Dark brown color, beige/tan head. Aroma is roasted malt and dried fruit. Flavor is sweet and fruity with fine chocolate malts.

Aroma contains loads of chocolate, some coffee and burnt sugar notes. Nice. Pours Dark Chocolate brown, tan creamy head. Good Carbonation. Flavor is not nearly as full as aroma suggests, but what is there is good, creamy, chocolaty. Sweetness is well balanced by hops, but again, could be much more pungent. Mmmm I find the words for this review are just coming naturally, good impression. Will get more from this brewer.
