Bottle from Stirchley Wines, Birmingham. A rich and bitter porter, with some crusty hoppiness in the middle and a long, dry finish. Smooth in mouth. Choc in the aftertaste. Very good.

33cl from DeMolen biershop. Brune, col fin beige. Arôme de houblon léger qui se mélange bien avec le bouquet de malt grillé/caramel. En bouche, malt léger grillé sur la limite du torréfié, le tout sur un houblon qui se marie parfaitement au malt, laissant une très fine note amer le tout présentant un beau profile citronné. Le tout est sec et grillé avec un aspect choco/caramel et café des plus agréable.

Bottled at the brewpub. Transparently black, beige head. Dark chocolate aroma. Dryish with dense, rounded mouthfeel and medium body. Caramelly coffee with some grapefruity hops and dark chocolate. Long bitter finish.

Dark brown with ruby highlights. Big khaki head, long-lasting, lacing left behind. Big roasted barley aroma. A slight sourness in the nose. Tastes of malt, caramel, vanilla, and coffee. Medium-bodied with a slight bitterness in the aftertaste. Not bad.

Bottle at Cafe Oto. Black coloured with creamy beige head. Aroma is bit of milky coffee, sweet roasty malt. Taste has coffee bitterness, dark chocolate and vinous dark fruit. Finish is quite creamy with a touch of bitterness.

Bottle, Beer Ritz, Leeds. Deep dark brown pour with a fair sized tan head. Prominent dark chocolate, roasted malts and pungent hops in the nose. The taste comprised the same elements, alongside some dark fruit and coffee notes. Dried out towards the finish. Tasty and classy as ever from the Kernel.

Bottle direct from The Kernel Brewery. Pours murky very very dark brown with a nice creamy (texture and colour) head. Nose is balance of citrous zingy hops, chocolate and coffee, with some hop pine too. Taste is chocolate, coffee and a finish that balances hop citrous and pine with roasted bitterness. Quite a strong flavoured porter. Basically a porter which has The Kernel’s India Pale Ale character bursting to get out.
