Clear amber with a medium beige head. Sweet aroma with roasted malt, caramel and chocolate notes. Flavour had roasted malt, caramel and pine. Off course it had plenty of hops and is finished quite bitter. My stile of porter.

Bottle, 5.0%. Mild aniseed aroma, hint of aniseed. Clear dark brown colour, red shine. Very small off-white head. The flavour is very slightly roasted and has a faint hint of aniseed. Tastes more of a Dunkel than a porter. But OK at that.

Bottled. A chestnut brown beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma has notes of malt, caramel, and nuts. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and a bit of nuts, leading to a dry nutty finish.

Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of madmitch76. Pours a deep dark amber with an off-white head. Sweet burned caramel in the nose. Medium body, roasted malts and fruit with a whiff of metal. Subdued bitterness. Not much of a Porter - closer to a Schwarzbier. 200210

Picked up from the ’Little Beer Shop’, Ludlow, Salop, 10-03-07 Poured a very dark brown colour, coffee and nut’s in the aroma. Beer tasted very good, nice chocolatey taste, came across as being slightly weaker than the ABV suggested but most enjoyable. A7 A3 F7 P3 Ov14 3.4 Had this again Bottle that I picked up at Waitrose, Gt Shelford, Nr Cambridge, consumed 26-06-09 at me mum’s Pours chestnut brown with an off-white head. Its nutty, malty and there are mollassess on the nose, touch of roastedness also. Taste is more of the same with a nicely bitter edge, touch of dark fruit and more roastyness in the mouth, really good and better than I remember last time. A7 A5 F7 P4 Ov14 3.7

500ml bottle from Bacchanalia, Cambridge. Deep ruby with disappearing beige head. Choccy porter, nice choc malt. Bit thin in mouth, intensity and some dark fruit sourness comes in later. Really quite a nice choccy porter. Bit watery in mouth.

Bottled. Dark brown, small head. Coffee aroma. Roasty and salty, medium dry with clean mouthfeel and light body. Low-medium bitterness. On the light end of the spectre for a porter.
