Bottle Wreck Porter from Hammerpot
9 years ago
6.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 4 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
Cask at Prince of Wales, Farnborough. Light malt aroma. Oil slick black, more cola like in the light. Crescent moon of a beige head. Slightly sour with a wide sweet streak. Sugar, treacle, berries, but all understated. Medium bodied, if somewhat watery. Softness. Short finish. Easy drinking. Didn’t really get any bitterness. An overly polite porter.

Cask at The Claret. It pours clear deep copper with a small off-white head. The aroma is rich, bitter - sweet, festive spice, Christmas cake and loads of gingerbread. The taste is rich, wood, festive spice, nice Jamaican gingerbread character throughout, leather and dried fruits with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Pretty tasty spiced ale. Well done.

Cask handpull at the Ale House, Chelmsford. Pours almost black with a very small off white head. Aroma of hop, pine, citrus and malt. Quite sweet, with a fairly light bitterness. Medium bodied but texture a bit thin. Dry finish, lasting hint of chocolate.

Black beer with a thick beige head. Tastes and smells of bitter, earthy malt with some coffee and dark chocolate and the flavour has a splash of tart, zingy fruit as well to make an interesting combination

Cask at the Rose & Crown, Sandhurst. A dark mahogany pour with a tight beige head; earthy, pine forest aroma; full bodied with a dry hoppy taste, lively green hops and a touch of spice; then a long dry earthy finish. Very good.
