When we first brewed OBOE back in 2016, the taste conjured up the deep, warm sounds that an oboe makes – hence the name. But it wasn’t until after the beer was canned that we realised we were actually thinking of the sound of a bassoon. We’d crossed our wires you see, but the name stuck.

(Draught at BrewDog Shepherds Bush, London, 28 July 2019) Black colour with brief, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with coffee, dark chocolate and black rye bread. Malty, roasted taste with notes of chocolate, coffee, roasted malt, cacao and a balanced cacao bitterness in a dry finish. Medium body, quite dry. Tasty and well balanced porter. Nice one.

Can from Utobeer, Borough Market. Chocolate aroma with a berry edge. Dark and glossy. A cola tint. Thick creamy beige head. Light bitter, berry sourness and an underlying sweetness. Light. Thinnish but with a creaminess to it. Average carbonation. Relatively abrupt finish. East drinking uncomplicated Porter.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up at Clapton Craft. Pours black-brown with a foamy, mocha head. Relaxed roasted malts in the aroma, with accents of milk chocolate and ripening dark berries. Medium sweet flavour with smooth chocolate character, soft ashy bitterness, mild roast, more berry nips, raisins. Light bodied with velvety texture and fine carbonation. Nicely balanced finish, with further creamy milk chocolate, supple roast, modest earthy bitterness, more understated berries. Pleasantly nuanced, with nice depth. All pretty impressive for a compact 5.3% beer.

Keg at the Euston Tap, 17/03/17. Light black with a decent tan cap. Nose is milk chocolate, light roast, spice, toffee, biscuit crumbs. Taste comprises light roast malts, brown sugar, brown bread, cocoa sprinkle, earthy fruit notes. Medium to light in body, spritzy carbonation, drying close. Bit on the thin side ... average fayre.

Keg at the Euston tap. An opaque black brown coloured pour with a lasting halo of light tan head. Aroma is woody SWeet, coconut, creme caramel,.. Flavour is composed of of dry papery malts cardboard, nutty,. Little hit alcohol in the finish. Palate is dry and gassy, harsh dry finish. Not a fan.
