Commercial Description:
Such was the popularity of porter in old England that legend has it townsfolk drowned when vats at a local brewery burst, flooding the streets. The Three Boys recreate this legendary beer, balancing toasted malts to give a rich, complex flavour. Fuggles hops maintain tradition while select New Zealand hops add spiciness that carries this beer into the new world.

Bottle, pouring a dark cola-brown, witha foamy tan head. A sweetish raisiny aroma, roasted malt with some chocolate, but also slightly skunkish. Chocolately malt initially on the palate, becoming more dry and roasted in the swallow, with coffee in the finish. Mmmm, light and delicious.

Bottled. A pitch black beer with a lazing brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with ligth notes of roasted malt, coffee, and chocolate. The flavor is sweet malty withlight notes of roasted malt, leading to a dry bitter, roasted finish, where a light note of coffee also lingers around. Thanks Papsoe for shipping this home to Denmark.

Papsoes mystery blindtasting beer #4. Pours dark brown to black with a diminished light brown head. Roasted coffee and chocolate malt. Flavour is dry and roasted, medium coffee note and a ligt smoothness from the chocolate into the finish. Yet a bit too simple and without much body. Slight ashtray finish with a mild bitterness mainly from the roasted malt.
