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.

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.

Tap at Station 1280 at the BCBF after. Nem keszitettem jegyzeteket, csak pontoztam a sort

Medium creamy body cause of the nitro. Deep brown or black with a firm light tan head. Lightly roasted malts, cocoa, light sweet chocolate, a touch of earth, and just a hint of smoke/burnt malt. Easy going and full flavored. Really digging it.

Tap at Hoppzak. Nitro pour, dark brown with lovely tan head, looks great! Sweet chocolate, roasted malts, dough, marzipan, light toffee, dead leaves. Over light sweet, light bitter. Over light body. Lovely.

Аромат весьма жженый, есть зерна кофе м бобов, черный шоколад, сухость сразу ощущается. Цвет угольный, черный, пенка очень тонкая. Вкус разочеровал если честно, прежде всего своей горечью, сухость при этом сильная, шоколад почти пропал, осталось только кофе при глотке. Можно допить но без особого удовольствия.

2/3rds from the keg at Craft Beer Co, Clerkenwell. Pours a deep black with a white creamy head. Aromas & tastes of subtle chocolate, coffee, dried fruits & sweet brown malt. Medium body. Smooth slightly dry finish. Well balanced. Excellent

470ml can. Darkest brown colour with late awakening, small to average, super dense, firm, creamy, moderately to mostly lasting, moderately lacing, off-white to beige head. Chocolately, dark malty and seemingly oaty malty aroma, notes of dark chocolate, coffee, chocolate and/or coffee flavoured cookies, whiffs of coconut. Taste is minimally dry, chocolately and roasty, dark malty, notes of dark chocolate, hints of coffee. Creamy texture, smooth, soft and silky palate, fine, dense, creamy carbonation. Excellent mouthfeel, relatively simple and monotonous - nice.
