A very well balanced and full-bodied, dark ruby-brown ale,
Drayman’s Porter is slightly sweet with notes of chocolate malt
and mocha married to a delicate hop bitterness and flavor. Its
complex aroma and smooth taste embody all that a dark beer
should be. Enjoyed by itself or with a hearty meal, this robust
Porter will satisfy. Don’t be afraid of the dark.

(Cask) Poured almost black with tan coloured and long lasting medium sized head. Aroma was of quite burnt malts and sweet liquorice. Body was full with low carbonation. It tasted of roastedness, liquorice, lightly ash, bitterness and sea water. Aftertaste contained burnt malts and bitterness. Very good one.

Nice tan head witha black body. Light espresso aroma and chocolate. Chocolate and espresso taste. Some honey perhaps. Medium body. And this beer has a wonderful aftertaste. Overall, this was a very good porter, although nothing too unique.

Thank you RCL for such a cool trade! 22 oz bomber pours a big black mug of visual pleasure. Has a thin annulus of chocolate mousse for an inside girdle. Gorgeous chocolate laced roasty olfactory. First bite is acceptable carbonation. Dark chewy roasted flavors. Big, bitter and burned but not over the top like an imperial stout. Croons porter, porter, porter; go ahead and taste me. An interestingly dark brew. Old wet campfire. Lovely example of a fresh dark beer that was properly bottled. Oppressive to the tongue yet enjoyable. 22 oz of this and yer whacked out next to the campfire coals. Borders on Baltic porter flavour.
