Our robust Porter shows bittersweet flavors of coffee and dark chocolate. It has very complex malt character enhanced by yeast fruitiness.

Single from Churchkey to go after arriving to a way too packed house. Low-ball back at the hotel. Bottled 7/31/24. Coal black body, sticky cookie dough head. Burnt caramel, touch of bitter cocoa, lightly herbal, premium beer nose. Taste is charred malt balls, soot, mellow lactose sweetness & a twinge of earthy, lingering bitterness on the tail. Frothy, slightly astringent, very base, easy abv. Okay to good. Felt a touch empty.
Revisited 9/6/25 outside of DC
Straight from the bottle rate with food in my hand.
Brown & boring.
Roasty, bittersweet, some upfront caramel, creamer, slight acid, nilka backbone.
Good structure, milky feels.
Okay. 3.2

(Draught at Oliver Twist, Stockholm, 14 Sep 2022) Black colour with creamy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with coffee, dark chocolate and black bread. Malty, roasted taste with notes of coffee, dark chocolate, liquorice, dark bread and a balanced roasty bitterness in the finish. More than medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Really tasty and well made porter. Very nice.
