Sold as Mr George’s Ruby Porter in the US due to trademark issues. A dark ruby beer with a rich flavour and spicy finish. The hop grist adds a hint of citrus to complement the roasted malt character. Dark, Delicious and Delectable.

Deep brown with a ruby tinge, and a frothy tan head. Has a dark berry fruit aroma, with some caramel sweetness also apparent, and this continues into the taste on top of a sweet roasted malt backbone, with a hint of nuts also present, and a very smooth mouthfeel. Finishes with a touch of dry bitterness which continues into the aftertaste.

Bottle from Co-op in Sutton Bridge. Dark brown with a smidge of black purple. Very little off white head. Chocolate malt aroma with slight grassy hop. Sweet malty taste with bittering hop sneaking in for the finish. Chocolate fudge in the aftertaste. Nice full body. Simple but effective.
