Inspired by London’s Industrial Revolution when Smog filled the air and the Porter was the beer of the people. An original home brew recipe using 9 different malts including a good chunk of smoked ‘Rauchmaltz’ from Bamberg, Germany. Big flavour hits of molasses, raisins and caramel are cut with the resinous US hop Chinook. Smokey aromas fly, reminiscent of the smoke stacks of industrial London.

Keg at the Bootlegger, High Wycombe. Dark brown with a craggy beige head. Full of flavour- chocolate, smoke, gammon, tobacco, cough mixture, leather- and yet smooth. Lovely rich indulgent sipping beer. Nice one.

330 ml can from Ales by Mail.
Black body, with a big, creamy, dark beige head.
Aroma of ash, wood, coffee, some dark chocolate, slight dark fruits.
Tastes of ash, wood, bacon, coffee, some nuts, some sweet dark fruits.
Medium to light, oily mouthfeel, with an average carbonation.
Finnishes quite light, roasty, smokey, slightly dry.
Nice one, although a bit too easy for my taste. The smoke notes are well integrated, not too dominant, but overall I’m missing some more body. Not the best Smoked Porter I’ve had, but still enjoyable.

Bottle, 5.4%. The aroma seems a little smoked, but not distinctly so. Black colour. Big stable creamy light brown head. The flavour is roasted, coffeeish, slightly smoked and slightly sweet. Has a spicy hint towards the end. Late coffee aftertaste. Has a lot of character, this one.

Bottle @ Hoppy Advent Race in Space, Sønderborg. Pours hazy coffee brown with airy but stable light tan head. Clear aroma of malt, caramel and lactose, with notes of chocolate. Sweetish flavour of caramel malt and chocolate, with notes of lactose and coffee. Touches of roast. Mild, milky and coffeelike aftertaste. Nice, indeed.

Dark brown, foam is brownish but there’s not much of it. Aroma is full and soft, filling your nostrils with coffee and chocolate. Slight smokiness detectable in the nose. Taste is nicely chocolaty and pleasant. Small spiky roasted stings. Nice and enjoyable, would drink more of it. Not too complicated as a beer but what is there is well done.

On tap @ Stavio (Rome). Nera, mediamente densa, schiuma bianco sporca-beige. Al naso meraviglioso bouquet di tostato, cacao, caffé e leggero affumicato, equilibrata ed elegante "all’inglese". In bocca conferma le ottime sensazioni, mantenendo una discreta beva ma con tanta sostanza, un ottimo equilibrio e una discreta persistenza. Corpo medio-leggero, carbonazione soft. Eccellente!
