Publican Porter is a full-flavored London Style Porter with a black, opaque color that leaves a pleasing dark brown lace. Rich, decadent aromas of espresso entice the senses, eventually giving way to subtle biscuit like tones. The use of heavily roasted malt imparts tasty flavors of burnt coffee and dark chocolate, accompanied by a suitable and pleasant bitterness.

Bottle, 75cl. A lovely looking beer, black as hell, with a finger-thick tan head on top. The aroma has a touch of dms, with roasted, coffee-like notes and a good dash of sugary sweetness. The flavor is also of the roasted, coffee-like kind, with some sugars and alcohol, and a little hoppy bitterness. Super-smooth, full-bodied and warming in the mouth. The finish is long and warming, and quite roasted-bitter. A true beauty! 091230

750ml bottle. Black body with a brown head. Strong aroma of roasted malt and roasted coffee. Flavor is sweet, dark, roasted malt, roasted, bitter coffee, some dark chocolate and a nice and quite bitter finish. I found this beer quite straight forward roasted and bitter, but it is really well balanced, it’s a big beer with just an increasable nice, strong and pure flavor, no funky stuff, just plain porter. This could be really nice sometimes, and that’s just what it is. Love this one.
