The jewel in our crown was celebrated, many years in advance, by the prescient Jem Casey, Poet of the Pick and Bard of Booterstown, when he remarked that when “…no rashers grease your pan / A pint of plain is yer only man.” We agree and we’re not alone. Our Plain Porter – porter is a lighter version of stout – is a double gold medal winner. Its subtly aromatic, a silky, round mouthful with a touch of bitterness kicking in at the finish.

It is aa regular porter, less aromas than the fuller porter, in my point of view. The taste is dry, roasted malt, some coffe, a bit watery, 29.03.18, at Prélaz.

Dark brown with a tall foamy head. I feel like something was up with the draught line as the head is not as tight as I expected and kinda hurts the beer overall. Also, the barkeep had to pour like three pints to get this one, so…
Anyhow, a bit chocolate, roasted, earthy with molasses. Medium bodied with a dry finish that skews bitter. Nice but I think it could be better if poured properly.

Bière bue à la pression au Porterhouse à Londres. Robe noire profonde, surmontée d’une mousse crème fine et persistante. Nez discret mais agréable, avec des notes légères de caramel. Attaque douce et soyeuse, peu carbonatée, sur le chocolat au lait et une pointe de torréfaction. Corps moyen, texture veloutée. Finale tout en finesse, avec un retour subtil du caramel et du cacao. Équilibrée, facile à boire, très sympa !
