A blend of the choicest specialty malts and English Bullion hops creates a classic porter that is deep black in colour and full of roasty coffee, rich chocolate and chewy toffee flavour. It’s full bodied and smooth and is topped with a delicious thick and creamy head.

Tap at Dynamo. All I wanted was a simple, straightfoward, malt-centered English porter and I wouldn’t have mind a light body, on the contrary, but this is waaaay to light and both the aroma and flavour don’t really make up for it.

440ml can from the Beer Bank, Kuala Lumpur City Centre. Poured almost black in colour with a mostly lasting frothy off-white head. The aroma is roasty malt, light caramel. The flavour is moderate sweet and liquorice bitter, with a smooth, roasty, sweet toffee caramel, dry ashtray, earthy, liquorice bitter palate. Over medium bodied with soft carbonation. A solid Porter.

Endelig befinner jeg meg i trygge omgivelser! Mi2 på Cardinal feb-23, og denne klassiske engelske porteren fra cask er en hyggelig og imøtekommende bekjentskap. Lettdrikkelig er den også. Brunsvart med fint skum som varer. Mild duft av kaffe, røstet malt og sjokolade. Litt nøtter og noe urteaktig i tillegg i den gode smaken. Slank og elegant.

On cask at the Stockbridge Tap. Close to opaque black, thin crema head. Dark chocolate, meaty and roast. Savoury and earthy taste. Roasty and lightly smoky molasses note. All about the roast.
