Bottle. Pours nearly clear very dark brown with stable, creamy off-white head. Clear aroma of malt and fruit, with notes of yeast and roasty touches. Bitter, roasty flavour with notes of coffee, malt and yeast. Touches of hops and mild hints of dust. Estery and mildly acidic aftertaste with roasty touches. Tame but decent.

Bottle. A- Burnt wood, slightly dank. A- Dark liquid, dark color, tan head. T- Charred wood, red wine, weed, cocoa. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- Hard to believe this is only 3.8% Definitely the lightest stout or porter I’ve had but doesn’t taste like it. Doesn’t feel thin bodied either. A unique flavor. Like wood chips mixed with weed and red wine. Odd but tasty enough.

11.2 oz. bottle from the Brewers Project Pack. Almost clear brown, fast dying fizzy head. Aroma of caramel, leather, old yeast.
The flavor shows the same as the aroma old yeasty ale, old caramel, old shoe closest. The body is thin and watery. Seriously thin. Also, where does this metallic hint is the finish come from? Guinness needs to bury this recipe whatever they found it and not revisit it. Hardly drinkable, really not good. The West Indies Porter was vastly better.

For some reason, I don’t know why, I had really high hopes for this beer. Maybe just to breathe some life into Guinness. Aroma’s roasty, little bit malty and sweet. Flavors like nose, quite shallow and slightly more sweet than bitter. Average too thin body and totally forgettable.

330 ml bottle. Pours a translucent mahogany with a small foamy taupe head. Faint dark corn syrup aroma. Flavor is light cola and brown sugar. Thin bodied and lightweight. The low alcohol makes this a sessionable Porter.

Bottle from Tesco. A lovely smooth chocolatey porter. Just a shade off the West Indies.
