A popular, old-fashioned British brew that unfortunately has become a rarity these days, Brown Porter owes its dark hue and name to the use of brown malts, which lend color but also distinctive, delicate notes of coffee and cocoa. Thanks also to its low alcohol content, it’s surprisingly easy to drink for a dark beer.

Dark brown with an off white head - Roasted malt aroma with some coffee notes - Roasted malt body with bitterness and some hints of coffee - The malt goes into a thin finish with some bitterness - This was ok, a little bit on the thin side

Dark brown colour, mostly vanishing head. Tart, milky, toasted, some candi sugar. Light-bodied. Chocolate, soya sauce, milkyness, light tartness. Some hops in the aftertaste. Too restless for my liking.

Bottle, 330 ml, courtesy of Kreso, shared with him and others. Pours brown with medium beige head. Nice roasty, chocolate, nutty aroma, some sweetness, but unfortunately quite watery and bland. Light bodied.
