Originally brewed as 'something different' for a small beer festival. At the time porter was rarely found in the Midlands, but soon became a firm favourite for those that fancy drinking something a little out of the ordinary. Hops used are Target and Challenger.

well this was interesting. Not what you would expect from a porter. It was quite sweet, but a fruity sweet. Really threw me off. nice dark color, and a beige head, but the fruitiness was odd. overall a nice beer.

Аромат немного водянистый, немного жженка легкая, возможны намеки на вино. Цвет классический ничего особенного, пенка средняя. Вкус разочаровал. Очень горькое причем не ощущается особенности солода и его шоколадные нотки. При глотке немного жженки и изюма. И собственно и все. Горькое питкое и не вкусное.

Bottle of 'Festive Christmas Porter' which redirected me here. Santa is well pissed off with such label swapping. Pours a dark brown. small beige head, minor retention. Aroma of liquorice, cherries, chocolate, toast. Interesting. Taste is light roast, chocolate, mixed dried fruit and cherries, minerals. Moderate roasty bitterness at the end. Light bodied so loses a bit of depth. A bit mixed but overall I enjoyed it.

Cask at the Pump House, Shirley, Solihull. Poured a clear dark brown colour with a reddish hue and a frothy, off-white head. The aroma is roasted malt, light ashtray. The flavour is moderate to light liquorice bitter, with a smooth, roasty, somewhat watery, ashtray, light liquorice bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with soft carbonation. Light and bland.

Cask at Shrewsbury Arms, Stafford. Pours a dark red-brown with a small cream head. The nose is creamy with added chocolate. There is a rough bitterness in the mouth with roasted malts and liquorice to the fore. Underneath there are molasses, cherries and chocolate. Finish is bitter – almost sour. A pretty good porter.

Rocky light brown head left a spotty cover on deep mahogany coloured still body. Malt & dark chocolate aroma. Smells delicious! Medium bodied, smooth & creamy with a lighter clean finish. Malt, liquorice, chocolate & nutty tastes with a fruity finish. Proper Old School Porter - Excellent
