Chipotle Smoked Porter. A surprisingly approachable smoked porter, velvet smooth with a robust malt backbone. This is infused with Chipotles to give even more smokiness and a subtle hint of heat, a real winter warmer.

Big beige head. Opaque black body goes deep dark brown at edges. Roasty earthy toasted rice aroma with chocolatey notes. Dry-sweet earthy strawy roasted rice taste with chocolatey strawy notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft, smooth mouthfeel. Dryish roasty roasted rice aftertaste with earthy nougat and spice notes. Lovely and easy to drink. (0.5l bottle from House of Trembling Madness, York.)

cask@Ravensbour Arms, SE London - Black/dark brown beer with an off white/tan head. Has a light smokeyness to the roasted malts on the palate, also hints of licorice and chocolate and dark dried fruits in there. Interesting beer this. Decent.

Flaske 0,33l fra Kris Wines. Delt med Rune under seanse i H9 17 Jan 13. Dypt rødbrun. Nesten ikke skum. En god aroma av røyk. Smaken litt bacon med et behersket røykpreg & innslag av kaffe. Etter hver kommer det fram litt krydder. Pepper. Passet ikke helt inn. Litt sedimenter igjen på flaska.

Draft at Brewdog Camden. Pours dark brown with barely any head. Aroma of chocolate, light burnt malts, light coffee and light red fruits. Flavour is light to moderate sweet and bitter. Subtle heat from the peppers. Light to medium bodied with soft to flat carbonation.

Cask at Craft Beer Co Clerkenwell. It pours deep brown with a small off-white head. The nose is caramel, candy cane, smoke, roasted malt and charcoal. The taste is light smoke, roasted malt, earth, caramel, charcoal, medicinal aspect, tangy and light sulphur with a dry, bitter-sweet finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Fairly one-dimensional, but not bad.

Aroma: Plum, roasted malt and slight smoke.

Appearance: Black body with - disappointingly - no head whatsoever. No lacing.

Taste: Milk chocolate, plum, cherry, raisin and sweet barbecue smokiness. Light bitterness.

Palate: Thin body with a watery, slightly oily texture. Soft carbonation.

Overall: A nice display of flavours, but not flavours that greatly appeal to me.
