Beast is a strong-willed, full-bodied dark porter. Brewed with a mix of pale ale, chocolate and crystal malts, and hopped with Goldings, Challenger and Brewers Gold. It’s dark mahogany-brown in colour, with a hint of crimson. Rich aromas of toffee, treacle, Mocha coffee, vinous fruit, and chocolate. There’s more complexity on the palate with fruitcake, a hint of rum, more Mocha coffee, herbal hoppiness, vinous fruit, and a bittersweet finish that’s smooth yet complex, rich but not cloying.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. This doesn’t look like a porter, it’s an ordinary English strong ale. Aroma is sour fruits, toasted malts, chocolate. Flavour is toasted malts, fruits, bit of glue. Slightly sour finish. Not too well.

30th March 2008 Dark ale - hides the alcohol well. Smooth and a good balance of malt and hops but not overly in your face.
