‘Nightboat’ comes from the hit ‘Nightboat to Cairo’ from the 1979 debut album One Step Beyond, a rich and velvety London porter packed to the rafters with cappuccino, chocolate and dark fruit aromas. It’s a beer with a taste for adventure!

May 2016, as Madness Night Boat London Porter. Shared 500 ml bottle at local tasting. ABV is 4.6%. Beautiful ruby colour (fairly pale for a porter), moderate beige head. Moderate malts in the aroma, not very roasty. A hint of caramel, vanilla and very thin coffee. Medium dry flavour, mild coffee, a hint of chocolate. Very moderate hops. Easy drinking.

Gravity cask at the Tap and Barrel, Wigston. Dark brown, translucent, with the tiniest ring of khaki head. Liquorice and sweet, milky coffee are the prominent components in the aroma. Very sweet taste, with more liquorice, and a touch of sour blackberry on the finish. Oily body, somewhat flat. By-the-numbers porter but a damn good one.

Bottle at home, 30/08/16. Bought at Aldi, Blackwater. Sweet aroma ith a slight edge to it. Dark chestnut, verging on black. Initial frothy beige head, has some legs to it, does not just fade away. Soft bodied. Sweet with a bitter finish. Carbonation becomes evident when swallowing. The bottle references all sorts of aromas and I can pick up the dark fruit and hazlenuts, but it’s all very muted. Bland and inoffensive.

Flaske delt på RBHD-samling, hjemme, mai-16: brunrød rav med beige skum. Mild og behagelig balansert aroma og smak med kaffe, sjokolade og hasselnøtter. Bæraktig bitterhet. Lett å helle over drøvelen, selv om noe metallisk sniker seg inn helt til slutt.
