A de-luxe bottle conditioned porter launched to celebrate our 20th anniversary. Brewed with carefully balanced proportions of dark malts including chocolate malt.
A very smooth, rich, smoky, ruby coloured porter with a generous charge of Fuggles and Goldings hops which provide a wonderfully balanced aroma. The Lieutenancy is one of the most ancient Offices in England dating from 1535 in Buckinghamshire and this beer was launched by Sir Nigel Mobbs, Lord Lieutenant for Buckinghamshire, who charged the coppers with choice hops.

33cl bottle. Poured a clear medium brown with a frothy off white head. The aroma is sticky toffee caramel grainy malt, light woody hop. The flavour is moderate sweet with a smooth, sweet caramel malt, dry, fruity, light floral hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Not sure why this is even called a Porter.

Flaske 0,5l spandert av og delt med Rune under rateseanse hjemme hos ham 13 Okt 11. Dyprød/brun med et høyt luftig skum som varer. Masse skum henger igjen på glasset. Vakkert! God, svakt fruktig aroma. Smaken er mørk frukt. Avslutningen er tørket frukt. Et godt øl men mer en traditional/old ale enn en porter. KI=5 (RAIB-BarGBBF 2011)

330ml bottle bought from The Real Ale In a Bottle Bar at GBBF ’11. A bottle conditioned ale that comes in a nice bottle with a dark blue neck. Top score for its appearance; offers a bubbly, solid off-white head that stays throughout, and left a good amount of lacework behind. Ruby-red body. Aroma of roasted, earthy malts. Sweet and roasted flavour of caramel malts joined by hints of dark fruits. Rounded bitter ending. Ashy dry. A tasty porter, without being outstanding (shared with Finn, 13.10.2011).

330ml Bottle - Brown with some red tinges. Blackcurrant, dried fruit and malt in the aroma. Roasted, chocolatey and slightly sweet taste with notes of roasted malt and coffee. Almost a year out of date, but it’s still drinking well.

Bottle at home in London. Pours brown with a foamy, light tan head. Aroma is light cocoa, semi-dark malts and faint berries. Medium sweet flavor, some dark malts, mild roast, hints of alcohol. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Mostly sweet finish, light earthy bitterness, subtle roast. Very average overall.

Bottle bought at the Royal Farm Shop in Windsor, Berks 18 months ago, BBE 4/9/10 on the label. A dark brown/ruby red coloured pour with a large beige head on top. Fruity, caramel aroma. Tastes of dark fruit, malty, caramel, spice, quite sweet, a hint of rum. Love the bottle and the beer inside is quite good too.
