English malt and English-ale yeast makes this proper in style. And it is brown in color. To bad the style in general sucks. White Elm does a great job with brewing this style. ( no issues at all) Just bland in comparison to American style porters.

Deep dark brown coloured body with a thinnish, light brown head that fades relatively quickly, but leaves a nice ligth tan head on top, just a centimetre tall. Aroma of roasted malt, peat, prunes, plums, grain, a dose of yeast and a touch of peanuts at the end. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong malty and toffee flavours at first with a relatively large peaty and grainy bite towards the end with a dose of tobacco and earth, but a very subdued and malt pungency without anything light or airy here - this is all deep and quite strong. Aftertaste shows more nuts and robust grainy flavours with a lot of sugars roaming freely here - especially the nuts and earth. Overall, a nice enough beer with a ton of grainy, earthy and especially nutty flavours that show quite well, especially for the style with a lot of complexity, most notably at the end. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from BeerTopia in Omaha, Nebraska on 13-Feburary-2019 for US$9,99/six pack, sampled at home in Washington on 01-April-2019.

Draft. A- Leather, tobacco, roasty. A- Dark brown color, dark liquid, minimal head. T- Leather, tobacco, roasty, cocoa. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, roasty finish. O- As far as plain jane porters go, this one did it for me. Not thin bodied, a fair amount of roast and leather notes. This could make a fantastic base beer for future brewing ideas. Overall, pretty solid.
