Opaque black beer, small tan head. Light dry palate. Mild dark malt with traces of roast and coffee. Some sweeter malt as well and a little bubblegum ester underneath. Dry finish with a bitter malt and hop snap. Too dry, but okay.

Sweet nose, but ordinary and as bland as you like bitter with no surprises.

500ml can. Same as in picture, guess someone else brews this badboy now. Pours deep gold with no head. Aroma is butter and tinny, fruity malt. Taste has some fruity malt to start with a dirty yeast finish and butter on the aftertaste.

Own brand with the distinct Shepherd Neame textures, but has too much body to it.

Clear 500ml bottle, best before May 2008, drank on a wet and windy evening in Shropshire on 7th Jan 2008. Poured into a pint sleeve glass. Very dark ruby red colour with a wonderful foaming deep head, light brown in colour. The aroma is weak and watery a few malt and hops around but nothing to shout about. A sweet biscuit smell comes later. There is a hint of burn toast in the taste and some burnt caramel too, but not a sweet porter by any means. It looked so good, what a pity it is such a watery product with no depth or rich feel to it. I am only having two beers a week during Jan 2008 and I have wasted one on this bottle, bugger!

From BA: July 2007. Clear 500ml bottle. Cheap supermarket beers often taste like cheap supermarket beers, this one fits into that bracket quiet nicely. Dull copper in colour with a white head that dispersed very quickly. Very little smell, some hops but nothing else I could detect. Disappointing taste, watery for a 5% beer, nothing like a normal strong ale. Overal a big let down, I will not be trying this again.

Clear 500ml bottle, best before Feb 2010, drank Jan 2010 and poured into a vase shaped pint glass. Looks the part, good golden amber colour with a deep, rich, off-white cream coloured head. Bubbles could clearly be seen rising up through the bright beers body. Some heavy lacing was produced by the head as the beer was consummed. Ingrediants listed; Barley Malt (95%), Crystal Malt (4.2%) and Hops (0.8%). The hops used must be aromatic ones because they came out in the aroma very well, along with the malts. The malts dominated the taste, but not turning the beer into a sweet drink or overly malty to be honest. There was a bitterness throughout the tasting, a typical English bitter feel to it really. The beer was pleasant without setting the world alight with its flavours or mouthfeel. This is brewed for a supermarket shelf and is good value more than a good beer. I’d give it to friends, but might hide the bottle before they saw what it was!

Well hopped bitter in the distinctive Shepherd Neame way. A bit soapy in texture and taste.

Bottle from Asda
Very dark ruby brown...ruby edges...big rocky tan head..reasonable lacing
Aroma - Roasted malt...some dark toffee...sweetish dark malts...yeast...hint of dark fruit..fairly light aroma
Taste - Roasted malts..some spicy bitter hops...bit of coffee...yeast...dark toffee
Palate - Medium carb....thin to medium body...sweet malts....bitter roast and hops. Finish - much more bitter coffee and bitter hops comes through here with a bit over-lingering rather rough burnt toast, sweet dark malt, bit mineraly tail.
Overall - A reasonable porter from Shepheard Neame, spoiled a bit by the roughish finish.
