St Peters Old Style Porter

A red brown beer with no head. The aroma is sweet with notes of roasted bread and so is the flavor combined with notes of malt. A fine beer, but nothing special.

(Bottle 50 cl) Pitch black with a reddish hue. Handsome, creamy head that sticks to my glass. Distinct notes of burned malts, coffee and bitter chocolate - all the right characteristics for a good porter. Dry, fairly light-bodied and very drinkable. An aromatic and pleasant porter. 181201

50 cL bottle. Pours dark brown to black with a lacing tan head. Aroma is roasted malt and breadish. Mild acidic and vague fruity note. Roasted malty and light acidic. Lingering roasted malty finish. A bit on the simple side.
