Le porter sono birre scure e forti di tradizione inglese, in passato le preferite dai facchini londinesi perché ricche e nutrienti. La nostra porter è eccezionalmente forte, con ampie sfumature di legno affumicato e cioccolato e una struttura cremosa e riscaldante. Impenetrabile e pericolosa, eppure impossibile da resistere.

Tap at The Euston Tap - 28/08/12. Rich dark brown approaching black with a thin tan head that soon dissipates to the edge. Big roasted malt nose backed up by sweet sugars and milky chocolate. Tastes as nose but less roastiness and sweeter than the aroma suggests but leading to a dry roasted finish.

Keg at the Euston Tap, London. Pours clear, dark red-brown with a small, beige foam head. Nose is dark malts with hints of cocoa and maple. Flavor is medium sweet with cocoa, plastic, dirt, burnt leaves, some herbal hops, slight alcohol. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Mild warmth to finish, all dark, fainty smokey and roasty malts, burnt sugars, earthy bitterness. Mostly uninspiring.

Jet black colour, tan head, nice lacing. Aroma of coffee, lots of black, old, slightly stale coffee. Malts, cookies, light chocolate tones. Slightly bitter, roasted malts flavour, bitter coffee, light sweet notes. Quite full body, finish coffee and roasted malts.
Nice and full beer, but quite one-dimensional in coffee.
(Draught @ Moeder Lambic, Italian Beer Festival. Thanks for sharing, ajax25g!)

Draught Huge dark-beige/cream head over virtually black beer with beautiful lace. Roasted, burnt aromas, really like roasted meat or bread, Maillard-like; Roasted, and definitely a tad smoked flavouring, roasted grains, but also smoked cured meat. Warming up, liquorice. Medium to better bodied, quite slick and a velvety texture. Nice, eating & drinking.

Draft @ Moeder Lambic Italian Beer Festival ’12. Brune foncée voire noire, col épais beige/jaunâtre. Arôme malté restant pour moi dans un profile plus proche d’une scotch ale, note caramel/toffee assez prononcé. Palais, malté, douce sur note sucrée et caramel collant un peu aux lèvres sur des notes de fruits noirs et léger chocolat, le tout est agrémenté d’un léger houblon pour une amertume de fin de bouche. Agréable mais le style reste plus près d’une scotch.
