Yorkshire Blackout
A 1930's recipe designed by a soldier who never returned from war. Blackout is deliciously smooth & dark with chocolate and vanilla flavours - by 'eck it's addictive.

A complex blend of fine English Malts, Blackout is a porter ale produced from a unique 1930’s recipe which has only recently been recovered. The rich, smooth taste will help you relax and unwind, but treat with care, this porter is not called Blackout for nothing. We hope you enjoy a taste of the past.

Bottle from House of Trembling Madness, online. Pours black with small slightly fizzy beige head, modest retention. Aroma of chocolate, vanilla, light roasted malts. Pleasant. Taste is certainly as per aroma, sweet, tons of the chocolate and vanilla coming through, mild berry tang, and roasty bitterness. Its a solid performer, enjoyed it.

Bottle. Black beer, lively head though that pretty much immediately fizzes out and it LOOKS a bit flat. Smells a lot better with loads of vanilla and chocolate. Tastes nice too, the vanilla gives it an almost marshmallowy flavour up front like Stay Puft (Tiny Rebel) or similar, though it ends up tasting a lot more malt-heavy. Rich and toasty with the chocolate coming through in the flavour as well. Dry, bitter finish. It's unspectacular but perfectly drinkable.

Keg @ The Colmore, Birmingham. Black body, thin beige head. Aroma of chocolate, soy. Quite flavoursome with a strong milk chocolate character and light parma violet shades. Very nice. --- Beer aliased from original tick of Yorkshire Blackout on 03 Mar 2020 at 20:03 - Score: Appearance - 7 | Aroma - 7.5 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 7 | Overall - 7.5.

Bottle, courtesy of Totnes. The person, not the place. As Baytown Squire’s Connivance. Dark, cola brown. Barely a head. Nose has earthy malts. Sweet coffee. A little ashy. Taste is fairly sweet. Some roast malt bitterness. Smooth mouthfeel. Fine carbonation. Light bittersweet finish. Ok, although probably a lot better on cask.

Half-pint, keg at York Tap. Shared with Finn. Stable beige head, rich lacing, clear ruby-black body. Chocolate nose, o'boy like. Mocha chocolate flavours and mid-sweet chocolate ending. Okay, a bit unvaried. (08.02.2019).

Svart. Middels høyt mokkafarget luftig skum som daler veldig sakte og etterlater pen lacing. Aroma av melkesjokolade. Smaken det samme. Lett tørr & søt ettersmak. Avslutter tørt.

Als "Baytown Squire's Connivance" aus der Flasche im 2018-06 getrunken. Dieses mit Laktose gebraute Porter ist butterweich am Gaumen und erinnert an eine Art malzigen Schokoladenpudding. Lecker, süffig und macht richtig Spaß im Glas.
