Taking inspiration from our flagship beer, The Porter, we wanted to brew a truly sessionable London Porter.
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.

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

Canned, from Systembolaget. Black, small creamy head. Intense roasty coffee aroma. Mid dry with light to medium body and creamy, rounded mouthfeel. Earthy licorice and coffee, some dark chocolate. Balanced bitter finish. Velvetty, pleasant nitro porter.

Burk från systembolaget.
Svart med lite brunt skum, men inte så krämigt som jag önskar av en nitroburk.
Väldigt bra kropp för alkoholhalten.
Rostad malt, kaffe choklad.

Speciellt öl det här. Det är gott men inte särskilt komplext. Naivt, fast på ett positivt och socialt sätt. Mycket choklad. Mer mjölkig än torr. Fantastiskt härlig mjuk gräddig munkänsla. Godare och trevligare än vad den är bra. Men charmigt är det!

Nitro pour @ Beerlovers. Etrange de ne pas encore avoir noté ce porter.
Noire obsidienne, col épais crémeux tenace café au lait.
Bouquet généreux et chargé sur les malts - c'est dense et complexe, nez chocolaté avec de fins effluves de grillé, léger fruité noir.
Palais est crémeux comme cela doit l'être avec un nitro - bien axé sur les malts avec de belles notes de grillé, toasté et chocolaté, le tout sublimé par une fine amertume des houblons. Le tout est onctueux tout en ayant une approcheplus classique qui laisse la place à l'amertume. Les houblons donnent une amertume classique anglaise entre terreux, fin herbacé.
