A rich smooth classic porter. Balanced and full of flavour, neither too bitter nor too sweet, Coal Porter is faithful to the porter recipes that drinkers in 19th century London would have recognised. Drinkers of porter beers from Trumans and Barclay Perkins would have been well catered for on their trips to Yorkshire had we been around a 100 years ago!

8/6/2018. Cask at the 27th Doncaster CAMRA Beer Festival. Pours opaque black with minimal beige head. Aroma of malt, nut, chocolate, dark fruit, vanilla and a hint of liquorice and peppermint. Medium sweetness and medium roasted bitterness. Medium to full bodied, slick texture. Good brew and my 'beer of the festival'.

On cask @ the Black Swan, Pickering. Appearance - opaque black with a lovely fawn head. Nose - dark chocolate but dark fruits too. Slight glycerine thing which gives a Ribena concentrate note. Taste - more blackcurrants and dark chocolate intermingled. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture and the finish is nicely balanced with dry malt notes. Overall - good beer, the best of their three.
