Smooth and satisfying, this example of an historic style of beer derives its rich, chocolatey character from a blend of Brown and Chocolate malts in the brew. Its notable coffee notes and creamy finish make it a wonderful accompaniment to many sweet foods – especially chocolate pudding. 5.4% ABV.

Bottles, many. Black body with a beige head. Good lacing. Aroma of chocolate, raisin, digestive biscuit, Twiglet ash with a hint of vanilla. Flavour of peppery spice, chocolate, black cherry and prunes. Medium body with a slick mouthfeel. Soft fizz. A well rounded Porter.

500ml, bottle.
ABV 5,4%
Pours black, with thin, quickly diminishing brown head.
Nose has some hidden sweetish notes, and some roastedness/smokeyness.
Flavor is where things kick in 😁 balanced notes of roasted malt, some bitterness, not so much caramel, and plenty of smoke. Really good porter!
Medium carbonation, with a nice roasted and dry/bitter finish.

Mitternachtsburgundene Farbe, bräunlicher Schaum. Volles Karmalz in der Nase. Dunkelmalz ist auch beim Trinken das bestimmende Thema. Sehr voll und tief. Ein Hauch Traubensaft und Trockenobst ist erkennbar. Die Röstnoten sind für ein Bier dieser tiefdunklen Färbung fast schon als dezent zu bezeichnen. Die Hopfung verdient definitiv dieses Attribut. Die Bitternoten kommen dann doch eher von der Röstung des Malzes und weniger von der Hopfengabe. Trotzdem ist das Bier keinesfalls zu süß. 5,4 % Alk sind für ein Porter durchaus eine Ansage - das erwartet man eher bei einem Stout. Sehr weich, wenig Kohlensäure. Sehr dichtes, volles Mundgefühl - trotzdem bleibt eine ganz gute Süffigkeit. Das hat schon was. Wer anglophil ist und auf dunkle Biere steht, muss das unbedingt mal antesten.

Bottle at Bierlinie in Berlin. Dark brown, almost black body, hardly any foam. Aroma: Claty coffee, bitter chocolate, some hazelnut. Taste: Medium sweetness, cold coffee, slightly bitter, slightly musty, hint of red berries. Slightly creamy.
