Can from Beer52. Pours black with nice looking beige head. Aromas of roast, coffee, chocolate, brown sugars. Nice depth to the flavour with chocolate, caramel, hint of vanilla giving a sweetness but there is quite a bit of roasty bitterness, some liquorice to balance. Medium bodied. Very nice.

330ml can via Beer52: BB 31st January 2024. Poured into a La Chouffe stemmed tulip at home on 18th September 2023. My last beer in a mini-tasting session with myself. Deep, dark brown body, slick and smooth tanned head. Nice slick body for an English Porter, rich and hearty; coffee and chocolate esters and flavours. Nice finish to my little tasting, Beer52 do score well on occasions!

Can from Beer 52 – drank at home. Pours almost black with a sizeable but transient frothy beige head. Bit of a strange aroma ; took some time to pin down but I finally nailed it – very milky coffee mixed with toast ! I the mouth it is smooth, quite sweet with a creamy texture. Flavour has malts and honey initially, quickly followed by a mix of milky coffee and chocolate. Maybe a hint of chillis later. Finish is quite sweet. This is a really good porter – hides its strength well too.

[33cl can from Beer52.] A glossy chocolate brown coloured pour with a thin beige head; chocolatey aroma; bitter taste with chocolate and heavily roasted grains, and perhaps a hint of chilli; then a smooth chocolate milk finish.
