Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from Cork & Cask online. Pours clear, light brown with a small, creamy khaki head. Lightly sweet with soft roast, toasted malts, a few berries and toffee. Light bodied with average carbonation. Mellow earthy notes, ripening berries and toasted toffee to finish. Simple, drinkable.

Cask at Smithfield, Derby. Pours a dark reddish-brown (rather light for a porter) with minimal off-white head and good lacing. Sweet malts in the aroma. In the mouth it is sweet and fruity with flavour of wine gums (red/black). The texture is slightly watery but with malts and dark fruits plus a hint of liquorice. Finish is somewhat creamy. Decent if not spectacular.

Så og si svart med beige skum. Lukter brød, røstet malt og sjokolade. Mild i smak. Sjokolade og malt i smak.

500ml bottle, 4.5 % abv, bought at Eide Handel. Dissipating beige head over a clear black body with a rustic shade. Spotty lacing. Nicely roasted malty aromas, bready. Black chocolate malts to the fore of the taste character joined by moments of dark bread, and prunes, Slightly creamy on the palate. Well roasted malt bitter ending. Medium bodied. Pretty good.

Ultramørkebrun / svart. Middels høyt luftig skum med litt farge. Aroma av røstet malt & sjokolade. Smaken lakris & røstet malt. Litt sjokolade etter hvert. Tørr avslutning. Veldig bra ut fra styrken!

500 ml bottle, from Gulating ølutsalg, Stavanger. ABV is 4.5%. Nearly black colour, large beige head. Moderate roasty aroma, hints of chocolate, prunes and mild coffee. The flavour is medium dry and smooth, still with decent malts, and the same hints as in the aroma. Moderate hops. Easy drinking.

Bottle shared with JFE and SK on board Fridtjofen 05.10.20. Ebony. Fairly persistent dense brown head and lacing. Fine aroma and taste of roasted barley, dark chocolate, coffee and a hint of liquorice.

Bottle from Cornelius. Dark brown body with ruby highlights and a thin beige head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of coffee, wood and raisin. Flavour of nuts, coffee and rust. Thin body with a slick texture. A classy Porter. I would expect nothing less from Swannay.
