Bottle at home, black beer, small head. Aroma is roasted, malt, malt, coffee. Taste is the same, bitter, dry, decent porter.

33cl bottle from Beer52. Medium white head. Hazy golden pour. Ok but not a beer style that excites me.

Bottle from Beer52. Clear and very pale gold with a white head and an aggressive, prickly fizz. Weetabix, lemon, sweet floral hay and coriander seed with a dry finish. Some banana bread in the aftertaste. True to style, definitely; sadly it's never been a style that I've liked very much.

Bottle from Beer52. Late night beer at the end of a hard week whilst binge watching the superb British sitcom Coupling. Black with a beige head and a middling fizz. Port and chocolate and wood and a hint of smoke. Rich full mouthfeel. Dryish, with a sticky, lightly roasted finish. Really good.

Crisp copper and bronze coloured body with a very thin, single centimetre tall pure white head. Aroma of crisp grain, light toffee, some earth, a dose of nuts and a tiny bit of grapes. Light to Medium-bodied; Assertive malted barley notes show at first with a relatively large earthy and rustic flavour that shows some nuts and toasted grain in addition to a very mellow grape-like sweetness at the end. Aftertaste shows some caramelised sugars, a dash of grain and flowers and ending with some more of the malt notes, which are quite strong. Overall, a relatively easy-drinking lager that does have a ton of flavour, especially the malty and earthy side of things, but some sweetness does shine through as does the yeast and bready flavours, especially at the end. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from the Department of Beer and Wine in Alexandria (Potomac Yard), Virginia on 05-June-2020 for US$2,87 sampled at my house on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, in Onancock, Virginia on 13-June-2020, one last time.

355ml bottle via Beer52; BB 13th Feb 2021. Drank at home on 9th Jun 2020 as I prepared a family BBQ. Golden amber body, sediment floating everywhere, short lived full white head, quickly turned to a thin covering and then a wisp and collar. Good piney nose and taste, decent malty base for an underlying sweetness. I like this sort of IPA, bored with the citrus cocktails, give me some proper bittering, piney hops every time!

12 fl oz (355ml) bottle via Beer52; BB 18th Feb 2021. Tanned foam on the black body of this decent Porter. Chocolate and coffee esters rule the nose, taste also chocolate and coffee to the fore, semi-sweet, semi-dry, semi-bitter.
