Robust Porter
Deep roasty tones, heavy chocolate notes, a beautiful full body and extremely tasty on cask.

Medium deep brown with a tan head. Had to pour it pretty hard to get any sort of head to show but it finally did. Medium bodied. Good roasted malt up front with some earthy notes, chocolate, a touch of vanilla, light caramel. Finish has some bittersweet notes along with sweet caramel. A bit on the thin side of the style but itโs solid.

Large tight tan head left a creamy cover on a near black coloured still body - looks amazing.
Malt, toast & nutty aroma.
Medium to full bodied, smooth & creamy with a cloying back.
Malt, toffee, coffee, nutty, biscuit & chocolate tastes with a big fruited peppery finish.
Tremendous Porter.

Backlog. Black colour with a mediumsized beige head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is roasted malts, some chocolaty and nutty tones with some mild dried fruits and a bit smoked wet wooden elements. Flavour is roasted, some chocolaty and mild nutty tones with some dried fruits and a bit wooden tones to it. Good depth to it.

Cask from Port Street Beer House, Manchester. Black with nice creamy beige head. Notes of roasted malt, coffee, plum, blackcurrant. Long building bitterness in the finish. Smooth, semi-drying. Good stuff.
