Keg at Brewdog Shepherd’s Bush, London.
Dark brown, hazy body, with a medium, dense, lacing, dark beige head.
Aroma of dark bread, cocoa, coffee, nuts, toast, dark chocolate, some dark berries.
Wonderful, smooth taste with loads of wild berries, milk chocolate, cocoa, nuts, dark bread, coffee, some tropical fruits, slight liquorice.
Mefium, creamy mouthfeel, with a lively carbonation.
Finishes roasty-fruity, with chocolate, cocoa, tropical fruits, some coffee, some dark bread.
Delicious! The nose is typical for a Porter, with smooth roasty notes, but also underlying fruit notes. Taste is quite surprising, with lots of lovely wild fruits, combined with chocolate and roast notes. Sounds like a Black IPA, but it’s something else. Very characterful and accomplished stuff.
