Robust porter seeking to connect with the rich and old porter tradition from the British Isles, named after the founder’s daughter. Interesting: "we hope to begin a new tradition of brewing (...) that any black beer lover will enjoy". These noble ambitions aside, this brew has a lot to offer indeed: colour is a very dark burgundy, not to say black, under a relatively thick, creamy, dense, pale beige head with good retention and good lacing. Aroma is strong, complex and perfumey for a 5% ABV beer, and displays everything I expect from an American interpretation of porter: tons of coffee beans, frying bacon, bitter chocolate, beef broth, raisins, fresh paint, fresh rosemary, port wine, vanilla beans, paprika, iron (but in a good, ’bloody’ kind of way - sorry), a very faint suggestion of fennel seed, faint hint of smoked herring, coffee liqueur, dried ginger, dried orange peel. Dryish and ’light’ onset, crisp, dried fruits, raisins, freshly cut vegetables (thinking celery or carrots), weak background hint of charcoal, soft carbo, with a smooth, powdery mouthfeel, middle phase consists of lingering but very restrained fruitiness over a full, soft and bready caramelly maltiness, slightly metallic but not disturbingly so, quite nutty too but low on the chocolate department, which I suppose distinguishes this from a stout. Finishes primarily malty, caramelly, but slick and not cloying at all, with peppery and earthy hops playing a balancing role, along with a long-lasting, black coffee-like roasted bitterness; alcohol remains completely hidden, as ought to be the case in a beer of this strength. This is a very fine robust porter indeed, exemplary for its style, with a remarkably high drinkability. Cheers to miss Chelsea!

650ml bottle. Jet black colour with average to huge, frothy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, beige to tan head. Roasty dark malty aroma has notes of ignoble, coarse, but spicy coffee, , dark chocolate, cocoa powder, herbal hoppy overtones. Taste is minimally sweet, chocolately dark malty, dry to bitter dark chocolate, a touch of milk chocolate, grassy and herbal hoppy overtones, chlorophyllic-oxidized and minimally mineral; slightly too prickling carbonation. Somehow ’Dutch IPA-ic’ in its grassy, mineral, water and carbo aspects.

22oz bomber pours with a deep dark body that supports a nice looking mocha colored head. The aroma offers up dark roasted malts, a thin layer of burnt malts, some chocolate and a sliver of molasses. The taste starts sweet with malts and quickly leads into dark roasted malts and sweet caramel malts, chocolate and a light molasses like note. Into the finish I get more of a pleasing chocolate sensation coming to the surface adding to the interest and depth. Nice.
