Mayflower Porter is a rich, complex brew that is smooth and full-flavored. Five varieties of malted barley provide notes of roasted coffee beans and bittersweet chocolate with a hint of smokiness.
Porter pours into the glass a dark chocolate hue with some amber highlights. The creamy head is a latte-tinted froth which sticks around and laces nicely as you finish your pint. As you tilt the glass towards you, you are met with subtle hints of dark chocolate, roasted coffee, and wood fire smoke. The flavors coming out of the glass mimic the aromas. You’re met with waves of dark chocolate cake, rich dark espresso, and light smoke from your bonfire. This porter has a medium body and an average carbonation for the style. It finishes dry, leaving you wanting another sip. This beer is to be enjoyed to its fullest illuminating the dark winter months of New England.

Pours light ebony into an English pint. Mocha head recedes to skim surface. Smoked chocolate aromas. Smooth with chocolate and dark caramel upfront and a lasting lightly tangy sweet smoke finish.

Courtesy of fishingnet. Pours a gorgeous deep garnet with thin tan head. The aroma is mild with notes of roasted to more dark roasted malts, a bit of fruity esters, some earthiness and a hint of smoke and oxidation. The taste has a bigger carbonation bite than I was expecting bringing up roasted to nearly burnt malts to start. It then gets mildly earthy for a moment or two. Nice offering.

Cask at GBBF 2008 Pours black with next to no head. Hoppy and sweet but with a subtle sweet cherryness coming through, this went very well with my wild boar pork pie that I had just purchased.

Cask at GBBF 08. Very dark brown, very little tan head. Lovely tarry, chocolatey aroma. Good in mouth, nice choc. Pretty decent. Very full, good choc lasting finish. That’s a pretty good porter. Oily and tasty.
