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.

Svart med beige skum. Lukter mest sjokolade. Men også lys karamell og nøtter. Myk og lite karbonert. Sjokolade og karamell i smak.

Can from Morrison's. Pours black with small beige head. Lovely chocolate and caramel aroma with biscuit, light roast, not overly sweet. Taste is moreish from the notes mentioned prior, very chocolate biscuit noted, some blackcurrant, dry roast. Nice slick mouthfeel, just shy of medium bodied but in acceptable range for 5.2% and the finish remains flavoursome. Excellent.

Dark brown colour, small brownish head. Caramel, chocolate and vanilla in the nose. A bit artifical even. Light-bodied. Light toffee and chocolate with touch of vanilla in the flavour. Quite pastry but light.

--Sample, thanks oh6gdx! -- Black, small head. Aroma of vanillin powder and caramel sauce. Inky sweetness on a thin body with sharp mouthfeel. Artificial sweetener meets vanillin powder and cheap caramel sauce. Metallic finish with chemical bitterness. Like a failed experiment from a kid.

Light color for the style and correspondingly light body. Tons of adjunct flavour though, not quite balanced enough for me. Gollem amstelstraat ams
