Werewolves of Cambridge is an approachable Porter brewed with English pale malt and a wide range of crystal malts. Leading with aromas of caramel, coffee, and cocoa, this deep brown ale is medium-bodied and smooth, balancing sweet and roasty malt character with a trace of piney bitterness. Deliciously drinkable with plenty of toasty, chocolatey richness, this beer is bound to get you howling. Named after Warren Zevon’s classic hit, Werewolves of London. Awooooo!

Can to English pint glass.
Appearance: dark brown close to black in color with a two and a half to three finger eggshell white foamy head dissipated and left some light lace
Aroma: caramel/toffee malt tones up front with some roasty coffee tones, nice allocation of cocoa powder, then some earthy hops underneath
Flavor: blends all the previously noted aromas together semi-sweet and roasty; mild bitterness underneath; subtle aftertaste of the coffee tones and cocoa powder
Texture: medium bodied, some sessionability, fairly smooth along tongue; finishes roasty with some chocoatey sweetness
Overall: first time I had this I thought it was more of an English porter but the second time I had this it came across more of an American porter, hmmmm, well either way, it's good enough to have again.

Tap @ Lamplighter CX. Pours a deep dark brown, off-white head. Espresso roast, leather and dark toffee nose. Taste presents excellent layers of dark caramel, chocolate malt and distant espresso.. such a good porter, lots here to discover, whilst remaining very well balanced.

Can thanks to cgarvieuk dregs run. Appearance - deep brown and opaque. Nose - chewy toffee and a hint of herbs. Taste - more chewy toffee and an edge of liquorice. Edge of herbs again. Palate - medium bodied with a chewy middle. Fairly dry on the finish. Overall - decent.
