A dark, full flavored English porter with Scottish heather honey. Samuel Adams® Honey Porter is a full-flavored, full-bodied English porter with a substantial roasted malt character, offering a smooth, rounded finish. This beer is brewed with traditional English Ale hops and is dry-hopped with East Kent Goldings, known for their spicy aroma and distinctive, earthy flavor. We brew Honey Porter with Scottish heather honey which balances the spiciness of the hops.
This brew is the perfect complement to glazed ham, spicy chili, and roasted vegetables like beets and carrots, which bring out the herbal notes found in the hops and the sweetness of the honey. Samuel Adams® Honey Porter also pairs well with rich desserts such as baklava and molasses cookies.

Pours amber, tan head.Aroma and taste, lots of honey and malts. Some light roasted touch. Finish is of light bitter hops, but with enough honey to hider the latter. At times, the honey almost seems to be too much. Tasty beer.

Bottle. This beer is nice and easy to drink. But it´s not very good. Both the aroma and the taste is dominated by artificial (it feels like it) honey and chocolate. It´s also thin and watery

[Bottle from Systembolaget] Faint aroma of chokolate and coffee. Nice black colour and nice head. The taste is a bit bitter with chokolate and coffe and a strong honey taste in the end. After a while, there is some faint liquorice.
