A rich ruby porter style beer with lashings of hoppiness and plenty of fruit & toffee on the palate.

Bottle @ You’ll Never Walk Alone, Kolding. Pours cloudy lightish coffee brown with airy light tan head. Clear aroma of malt and caramel, with notes of yeast and mild fruity touches. Sweetish, estery and malty flavour with botes of honey and toffee and bitter touches of roast and hops. Estery and malty aftertaste. Okay but I had expected darker matter.

Bottle. Toffee malt and straw aroma. Amber with moderate head. Sweet toffee malt and moderately bitter herbal hay flavor. Decent body. This is the first "ruby porter" I’ve come across - not really much difference from a regular bitter.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Max’s place. Thanks Tom L. Clear brown with a beige head. Aroma of malt, toast, nutty notes, a bit of caramel, a bit of fruitiness. Sweetish flavor with malt, toast, caramel, some nuts, a chocolate hint and a drier finish, slightly bitterish. Medium-bodied. OK. Not really a Porter.
