Asda Whitechapel Porter

Brewed by Shepherd Neame
Style: Porter
Faversham, England

Bottle from Asda. Dark ruby colour with thin tan head. Nice dark fruit aromas bit of bitter choc in mouth with black cherry and blackberry. Really nice dark beer, Finish is just a tad short

Dont expect that a lot of people try this as its a supermarkets own brand. This is a pity as it’s a well balanced porter which combines sweetness with a dry aftertaste. Well worth a try.

Bottle from Asda. Black until held to light - dark ruby. Malty, earthy aroma with a little roast and chocolate. Mouthfeel thinnish for the style. Could use bottle conditioning. Fairly pedestrian attempt at a porter.

Nearly opaque black, beige head. Went down very nicely. Has a bit of a sweet malt flavor.

[bottle; ASDA obv :s] roast coffee aromas, next to no head, black coloured. long finish but a bit thin. had it with some pate, went down nicely.

Bottled. A dark petrolly brown coloured beer with no head. The aroma is fairly thin but there are chocolate malts noticeable. The taste is lightly roasty with more chocolate but, disappointingly, a thin mouthfeel. Obviously a dead beer.

Bottle from Asda, High Wycombe. Pours dark ruby with a large, fluffy tan head. Aroma is dusty with some manky malt. Flavour is thin and sweet malty with lots of fruit and a little acidity. Dead in the bottle and boring. Towards the end, as it warms up it becomes fuller, sweeter but still retains a tinny acidity.

Dark brown with some ruby colour, beige frothy head. Sweetish malty aroma. taste is malty, chocolately, fruity with some fairly bitter hops at the end. A king amongst pasteurised brews, as in its not bad.
