Typical sweet Pripps-flavour with some alcohol-notes added. Truly awful.....

Canned:
Pours deep golden with a frothy head. Grainy aroma. Sweet alcohol flavour followed by a dry, unpleasant bitterness. Crap.

Golden coloured. Sweet and clean with sharp bitterness. Medium bodied. An OK standard industrial lager.

I had the 2001 'vintage', it probably would have developed its character if it had been cellared a few years like the brewery recommends, but as I personally have an extremely weak character, I was unable to wait! Even as fresh as this Carnegie is a fine porter. It may be tiresome repeating that porters have coffee-like qualities - actually, a good porter like this one has a lot better flavour than any cup of coffee! The aftertaste is moreish, this is definitely a beer I'll buy again. Good to experience that Pripps are able to brew something far better than their shitty lagers. Same recipe since 1836, great! Now if I just could find someone with an iron will and a huge padlock who would cellar a few bottles for me...
