330ml bottle. Pours dark. Aroma is chocolate milk. Taste is a little bitter, some chocolate and some prunes. Quite refreshing, and really quite nice. A nice simple porter.

Average head and body, brown-black in colour. Aroma of swampy barley but not too swampy, but still swampy. Flavour is roasted barley with hints of coffee, but the finish is watery. I like my porters in your face and this is demure at best.

Flasche (33 cl) von Jenny Lou’s, Peking. - Tiefschwarz mit einer dünnen Decke dunkelbeigefarbenen Schaums. - In der Nase überraschend kräftige Hopfenaromen, die an ein IPA erinnern: tropische Frucht, Nadelwald, Menthol, erst dahinter Röstmalz und Mokka. - Antrunk ebenfalls wuchtig hopfenaromatisch, gefolgt von Mokka und Bitterkakao. Malzsüße ist kaum ausgeprägt. Gut rezent, fast etwas zu sehr; schlank und trocken. Im Abgang kräftige holzige Hopfenbittere, beinahe verbranntes Röstmalz und eine deutliche Note von Asche. - Interessantes Porter mit geballten, fast schroffen Hopfen- und Röstmalzaromen.

Bottle from St Albans beer shop, St Albans, Herts. A dark brown/black coloured pour with a thin beige head on top. Roasty, malty, chocolate aroma. Tastes similar, roasty, malty, chocolate, slightly bitter. It is decent enough but not worth sending half way around the world when we have fantastic Kernel porters to hand.

Mothery Kelly’s. Keg. Pretty much an opaque dark brown beer with a tidy pale tan head. Palate is smooth and semi dry with good fine carbonation. Smooth dark malts, mildly tangy and carrying a trace of lactose. Very mild roast. Light semi dry crisp finish. Clean and drinkable but pretty standard stuff. I can’t help but wonder why someone who makes the (appreciated) effort of importing beer all the way from New Zealand would include a standard porter on their manifest, especially when so many standard porters are readily available here and so many interesting New Zealand hoppy beers are brewed over there. Oh well!

Keg at the Hanging Bat. Pours dark brown, thin beige head. Cold as ice. Aromas are dark chocolate. Taste is more of the same, one-dimensional, but not bad.
