12oz. Bottle:

Part of a weekend session. Dark pour, clear, ruby highlights as a good porter should show. Smallish mocha cap reduces but laces OK.

Aroma of roast coffee, floral herbs and burnt toffee.

Dose of roasty husk tastes of patent malt and sweet crystal malts are balanced by resinous hopping, lightly, sweet and caramel like in the body, goes to a clean drying finish where charred husk astringence and hops turn lightly bitter, nice twist on the style,

London porter meets US Micro process and dry hopping....satisfying, drinkable not too filling.

Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a snifter.

A- Pours a deep brown body with a small white head that reduces quickly and leaves little lacing. Nice color.

S- Big milk chocolate and coffee notes, pretty nice smelling.

T- Subtle coffee, milk chocolate, vanilla notes with a cardboard-like phenolic finish. Not too flavorful but the flavors that are there are good. Aftertaste is roasted malt.

M- Thin-ish but drinkable. Medium carbonation.

Overall not a bad porter - the shining point is how easy it goes down. Could be a little more robust, considering the label says "robust porter". Worth a try.

Had to pour a little vigorously to get any head, which was light and thin. Perhaps it's my mood (long day at work) but the smell was perfect - smooth, soft, creamy-chocolatey. At first, seemed to go down more smoothly than expected, but by the end, noticed the carbonation (not bad; just seemed to change over time). It was a little colder than was necessary; still regulating the beer fridge, so that may have dampened the flavor a bit, but still felt that it had a distinct light-chocolate/coffee taste.
