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.

750 ml. Brewed 6-7-06. Bottled 2-5-07. Black pour with appealing dark brown, frothy head, mostly diminishing. The aroma has lots of dark, semi-sweet chocolate, roasted malts, coffee, licorice and raspberry. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly sweet and moderately bitter and then shows some fruity, cherry tartness. Dry, too. Enough bitter/tartness to mute the sweet chocolate. Medium bdoy wtih a watery texture, but turns slightly chalky — perhaps a characteristic of its age. Lively carbonation. This beer is like a liquid raspberrry-coffee truffle. Very enjoyable. Nicely crafted.

(Bottle 75 cl) Completely opaque black with a dense, light brown head. Sweetish aroma of roasted malt and vanilla. Quite full-bodied with intensely sweet notes of vanilla and roasted malt. Malt bitter finish. A nice one. 311008

Big bottle from Ølbutikken, Copenhagen. Shared with Skinnyviking. Dense, tan coloured head over a devil-black body. Nice glass-lacing. Dark malty aroma with notably alcohol. Anise and chocolate can be detected, but the delicate flavour is partial run over by alcohol. Bitter endnotes. Full bodied (Valby, 10.09.2008)

Pitch black with a lasting light brown head. Aroma has roast malt, dark chocolate and rich dark dried fruits. The medium sweet flavour is roasted and fruity with chocolate and licorice notes. Just slightly cloying. After a night with 13 more or less weird, although all interesting, Shorts Imperial beers, it was reassuring to find out in the end, that malt, hops and yeast still are the finest ingredients to make great beer.
