Comes across to me more like a mild than a porter due to the low ABV but everywhere seems to categorise it as a porter so I’ll bow to superior knowledge elsewhere. Almost black in colour with an off-white foamy head. Burnt chocolate and coffee on the nose and, perhaps a little too predictably, in the mouth as well. Not a bad effort but a bit thin and a bit uninspiring. Worth a shot if you fancy a dark beer lacking in strength.
Rating: 3 (Worth a shot)
