16oz can. Buttery crap, the LL way I guess. That old school crappy ringwood flavor not done so well I guess. Really shabby stuff, like the 200th nail the LL coffin.

Don't know why they call it a English Porter when it's made with a lager yeast. Also like the can label saying the working man's pint in a 12 oz can. But it's a decent standard smooth porter. Aromas are dark malt, toast, and minerals. Flavors are on the sweet side, like nose, add in a bit of molasses. Decent enough but nothing amazing.
