Can from Beer Hop, London. An orange/amber coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, citrus, orange, caramel aroma/taste. I expected a dark beeer and it turned out to be orange. Different and quite enjoyable.

Amber beer, thin bubbly head soon fizzles out. Smells a bit like mulled stuff with the fruit and spices. Flavour has what's been described, with those same qualities. I don't think so much a porter as like... a mulled beer? If that's a thing? It's decent though probably more seasonal than I'm allowing for given I'm drinking it on a sunny early autumn evening. Decent though.

Can from HoTM. It pours deep orangey - amber with with a decent white head. The aroma is plenty of warming spice, cinnamon, big red, nutmeg, nutty, white chocolate, floral, soapy, dried orange, pot pourri and chai latte. The taste is dry, earthy, toothy, warming spice, milky vanilla, chai latte, cinnamon, nutmeg, orange rind, floral, soapy, pot pourri, wood, fatty,white chocolate, nutty and a touch of alcohol with a drying, toothy finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Was initially thinking this was a dark beer, so was disappointed for sure. Warming and spicy, maybe a touch soapy. Not so bad.

Amber with a huge soapy head that lingered. Bitterish and malty with vanilla and cocoa notes. Medium length finish. Moderately full bodied.

A orange-brown beer, a head is medium and blond. Aroma has spicyness, cinnamon, some caramel and citrus. Taste has cinnamon, also other spicyness, caramel, some hazelnut, maybe nutmeg. Medium bodied, smooth. Spice overdose, but still pretty interesting and nice.

Dass man hier kein klassisches, einfaches Bier bekommt, ist klar. Einmal wird es als White Porter, ein anderes Mal als Spiced Ale bezeichnet. Mit der orangen Farbe erinnert es eher an ein IPA. Gebraut wurde es mit Vanille, Zimt, Muskatnuss, Kakaonibs, Pekanüssen und Orangenschalen. Das ist auch alles ganz nett dabei, aber die Basis ist ein saures Gesöff, das die anderen tollen Noten komplett zerstört. Möglicherweise ist es also alt, was aufgrund fehlenden Ablaufsdatum auf der Dose (nur das Abfülldatum ist drauf gedruckt). Man versucht was tolles, aber aufgrund der miesen Basis, kommt nix raus. Schade um die Ingredentien.
