Porter originated in London in the 1700's, becoming particularly popular with transportation workers--hence the name. Its popularity was due in part to its strength but also to its low price, the result of the arrival of mass production, the Industrial Revolution, and new malting techniques, and it is the ancestor of beers like the Dry Irish Stout. Our take on this classic English style uses tons of caramel, chocolate, and black malts for a roasted malt character, balanced with an aromatic dose of authentic British hops. And sure, the color is dark, but this isn't your traditional 'dark beer'--dry, low in carbonation, and very drinkable, it's hard not to grab a second. Go ahead--we won't judge!
Best enjoyed with roasted or smoked meat, barbecue, Gruyere cheese, chocolate peanut butter cookies.

1/6/2019. Bottle from BEEReaucracy, Davao City, shared at the Krsko GP beer share. Pours very dark brown with a creamy beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, milk and dark chocolate, toffee, coffee, liquorice, and a hint of coconut. Medium sweetness, moderate roasted bitterness. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Chocolate finish, with some pick up in bitterness towards the end. Enjoyed this.

Bottle from The Bottle Shop by Global Beer Exchange, Makati. Poured a clear dark brown colour with a massive frothy tan head and lots of initial bubbles. The aroma is roasty malt, smoke, light caramel. The flavour is moderate sweet with a smooth, rich, roasty, light chocolate, caramel, light tart red berry fruits, light medicinal hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with big carbonation up front, although not a gusher. A decent beer, but I feel that this one had a hint of infection, hence the lively carbonation in the bottle.

Draft - Roast with some nice chocolate notes. Jet brown with a light brown head. Dark chocolate and nice roast with a bit of long finish. Solid.

Bottle at Carnivore in Cebu. Opaque black pour with dissipating tan head. Swirls nicely on the beer. Aroma is chocolate and hazelnut. Taste follows. Good amount of flavor for a light porter. Nutty, chocolatey, some good bitterness. Nicer than expected.
