It’s gotta be me, as I just don’t get a lot of flavor out of this. Poured perhaps a bit cold with a modest light tan head that soon settled and some lace. Color is a clear mahogany with some bubble trails. Aroma is very malty, toffee, caramel, hint of smoke, grain. Flavor’s kind of bland; not as pronounced as nose, some tang up front, only a suggestion of scotch ale. Body/carbonation are excellent. Finish is like flavor, a slightly nuttiness lingers and that’s it. Meh.

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.

12 ounce can, 3/29/20. Bad advice in the time of COVID19. Hazy amber, large foamy beige head, good retention. Aroma of lemon, grapefruit, dank, pale malt. Taste is dank, lemon, grapefruit, pale malt. Medium bodied, juicy, well balanced, and, yes, old school. Nice beer.
