Tower 42 bottleshare on me biffday! Thanks to Paul. Clear brown beer, thin tan head. Palate is smooth and has modest fine carbonation. Nice dark malts, mildly sweet and creamy. There is a mild fruity tang but it’s not bashing you round the head with it as so many porters and stouts do. Light citric hop. Smooth finish. Nicely rounded porter.

Bottle thanks to Ash. It pours dark ruby - brown with a medium tan head. The aroma is chocolate, rich roasted, big coffee vibe, cacao nib and millionaires shortbread. The taste is rich roasted malt, bitter - sweet, chocolate, coffee grounds, mocha, earthy roast, ashy, liquorice and umami with a dry, roasted finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. A pretty solid porter all-round.

Medium sweet flavour with notes of burnt marshmallows, charred wood, milk chocolate, moderate burnt earth. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Nicely balanced in th finish, with more sweet chocolate notes, restrained roasted malts, fine earthy bitterness, some ripe berries, hints of toffee. Tasty beer.

Bottle via trade with Ash. It pours hazy deep red - amber with a medium white head. The aroma is fresh, bitter - sweet, pine, resin, blood orange, kumquat and toffee. The taste is dry, bitter - sweet, pine, resinous, toffee, stewed citrus and blood orange with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Tastes a lot like a hoppy American red ale. I rather like the balance. A promising start for these guys.
