Put to the people’s choice, we asked you what flavour combination you'd like to see in an updated version of our Classic range porter. With a landslide victory, Britain’s love of biscuits prevailed, and the second iteration of Northern Star is a decadent chocolate, caramel and biscuit porter.

Can 44 cl. Pours a cloudy, opaque deep brown with a rough, beige head. Very intense aroma of milk chocolate. Medium body, sweet chocolate and wiener melange with a hint of sweet licorice as well. No bitterness. The aroma is out of this world, but are we really supposed to believe that this is made with all natural ingredients? 100326

0,33 can. Nagyon szép mély, mahagóni szín, kitöltéskor sötét barna habbal, ami hamar elillant, de előtte szép volt. Aroma: teljes mértékben visszaadja azt, ami rá van írva: csokoládé, karamell, keksz. Nagyon jó az illata, és intenzív is. Jóval testesebbnek tűnik az 5,2 %-hoz képest ivás közben. Nagyon jó, kerek, édeskés, testes, kekszes, és alapjában véve nagyon csokis, finom hatás. Kiemelkdően finom ízesített porter, nagyon nagyon ajánlatos! Lecsengése kesernyés, kávés, mégis aszalt szilvás, nagyon jó.

440ml can from Alko.
Poured pretty much black in color, thin off white head.
Pretty much what the name promises. Sweet but balanced, liquid milk chocolate and some bisquity notes.
