What better way to create an effortlessly drinkable dark beer than to make it nitro. The resulting creaminess and smooth mouthfeel balance perfectly with the subtle roasted notes of coffee and chocolate.
The beer brings together the rich history and heritage of London Porters, with the modern techniques of brewing nitro beers. The result is a beer that is easy drinking, without sacrificing its character.

Draft @ Bucks Head, London. Black with a beige head. Aroma of dark chocolate and some espresso. Taste of mousse au chocolate, cocoa, dark chocolate, roasted malts and coffee with a somewhat dry finish. Low bitterness. Low carbonation. Creamy mouthfeel. Very balanced and süffig. Brilliant.

Keg at Gidea Park Tap Room. Opaque dark brown beer, good pale tan head. Smooth palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Smooth dark malts, a little dark malt cream, a fair serving of earthiness, oaty dark chocolate - smooth. A little dark fruits. Smooth finish. A solid and very drinkable light porter, delivers much flavour for the light abv.

Hand pumped at Luppolo12, Rome, Italy. Pours dark brown/purple, almost black, with very fine cappuccino foam. Aroma is delicate of dark chocolate. Body is average, smooth and silky, a little creamy, with no carbonation. Taste is very moderate roasty, very slightly sweet. Final is short.

Burkvfrån SB. Opak mörkbrun/svart vätska med lågt krämigt skum. Mjuk och nitrolen men samtidigt riktigt torr med aska, tobak och jord i eftersmaken. Men först mörkt bröd, lent kaffe och choklad. Mycket gott

Roasted and charred malts aroma. Bit thin
Smooth texture as good as it get. Flavor is very well balanced and a lot more rounded than aroma. Really good guinnnwss like beer. At Peders, lokomotivværkstedet
