Chocolate and Golden Naked – always a good combination, particularly when they’re two of the six malts used in our Grand Porter.
Smooth and dark with caramel and burnt toffee flavours this Ale came from 18th Century London – there’s a good reason it’s alive and well today.

Tap at the Coldstream brewpub. Poured a slightly hazy dark brown colour with a mostly lasting frothy light tan head. The flavour is caramel malt, liqouirce, light charcoal. The flavour is liquorice bitter, with a charcoal, dry smoky ashtray palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.

Draft. A black beer with a brown head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt and bread. The flavor is sweet with notes of roasted malt and bread, leading to a dry finish. The body is light.

Bottle. Pretty much black with a light tan head that’s soon less than a coat but lingers at the rim. Aroma is of caught caramel, more chicory than coffee, a little roasty. Fair bit of body for under 5%. Malty but with a decent spicy bitter finish that does get gradually overwhelmed. Just a little muddled with mocha, toffee and stewed fruit notes not quite combining for me. But it’s not bad.

Pours black with a quickly fading head.Nose shows milk chocolate, vegetable notes, cocoa and soft roasted malt. Good stuff, could lose the vegetabel notes though.Similar flavours, pretty much a milk porter, lots of residual sweetness amongst the soft roast and milk chocolate.
