The Shy Porter is a traditional brown porter brewed with the addition of toasted coconut chips and raw cacao nibs. The classic roast malt flavours from crystal, brown and chocolate malts are enhanced by the luxurious combination of coconut and dark chocolate.

Served on cask, Heath Hotel - Cardiff.

Pours a dark reddy-brown, verging on black colour, with a creamy white head.

You can smell the chocolate and coconut nicely.

Taste is rather lacking. Mostly cold and creamy, reminiscent of nitro-tap Guinness in body, temperature and flavour. Vague dark malts, water and that's about it.

Overall rather a let down after the previous craft brews.
