A chewy chocolate-vanilla dream of a porter. Bad Kitty earned its name from the antics of the two original brewhouse cats, who delight in mischievously supervising proceedings.

(Cask at Cock Tavern, Hackney, London, 17 Nov 2023) Dark brown colour, almost black, with brief head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of chocolate, vanilla, milky coffee and caramel. Malty, roasted, sweet taste with chocolate, vanilla, caramel, nuts and a mild roasty bitterness. Medium body, quite sweet. On the sweet side, but rich and really tasty. Very nice.

440ml can @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, August 22. Final beer of the night and I think we'd all had enough by this point. Pours black, good tanned topping. Aroma of chocolate, mild vanilla. Indeed, vanilla seems quite low in the mix overall, semi-sweet malt with a nice drinkability. Not bad.
