Malts: Chocolate, Dark Munich, Carafa 3, Pale & Wheat Hops: Bramling Cross. The addition of a generous helping of oats combines with a selection of malts to create a delightfully roasted and smooth mouthfeel. Flavours of coffee, chocolate and subtle spice come through in the finish of this easily drinkable Porter.

Best Enjoyed: Sat in a big cosy armchair by a roaring fire. Or by a campfire with mates. Or at a fireworks celebration. Basically, anywhere you can find a fire.

(Bottle) Dark brown colour, almost black, with firm beige head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of dark chocolate, black bread, coffee, sweet liquorice and dried fruit. Malty, roasted taste with black bread, dark chocolate, coffee, dried fruit and a mild roasty bitterness in the finish. Medium body, quite dry. Tasty and well balanced porter. Nice one.

Dark brown porter, thin off white head. Malty smell. Flavour has sweet malt, a little chocolate, some hop, maybe a bit of dried fruit. Light and very drinkable.

Bottle 50 cl. Pours an opaque black with hardly any head at all. Roasty, nutty nose - very British. Kinda light in body, roast, licorice and dark chocolate. Some dark, dried fruit. Immaculate. 060319

Bottle from systembolaget. I might have to buy this again as it was a pretty easy drinking, solid porter. Impressed by flavours for low abv.

Flaska från SB. Mörkbrun vätska med lågt skum. Fin doft med rostade toner av mörkt bröd, kaffe, choklad. Lätt men smakrikt, torr men ganska rund och mjuk. Riktigt bra rejäl porter. MYcket smak för sin låg alkoholhalt.

Flaska från SB. Tack Samuel214. Mörk brunsvart, knappt någon krona. I doft och smak kakaoböna, torra rostade toner, kaffe, choklad, kola, lite brända toner, lätt charkig ton, torv, skogiga inslag. Lätt kropp, smooth. Fin, mjuk kaffebeska ligger kvar i munnen länge. Klassisk brittisk porter, lättdrucket och gott.

Bottled, from Systembolaget. Black with small beige head. Aroma of coffee and dark chocolate. Mid dry with light body and dense, rounded mouthfeel. Dark chocolate, coffee and bread. Mid bitter finish. Lovely down to earth, yet full flavoured, porter.
