Commercial Description:
This rich, dark Porter has been brewed using crystal, chocolate, black and amber malts from floor malted Sussex barley. The 'bittering' hop is the Sussex grown Admiral, which gives the beer its name. The winemaker's twist is to ferment and condition the beer with oak, giving a delicate balance of sweetness and bitterness, full depth of flavour and creamy vanilla notes. The ideal glass for appreciating the Admiral Porter at its best is a low goblet. As the porter is bottle-conditioned it does produce a sustained, coffee-coloured head which this wide-topped but slightly tapered glass helps to retain

Near black colored, slight red and brown tones in there too. Medium sized beige head. Smoke, chocolate, ash, oak and vanilla in aroma. Medium bodied. Flavor is also smoky with oaky and chocolaty tones, aftertaste dries with some hops and oak. For my opinion needs more body to have these barrel-oaky tones, still ok brew.

Bottle. Black with thick tan head. Oaky aroma with notes of dark chocolate and metal with a sourish undertone. Oaky and and rather sour flavour with fragile notes of roasted malts. Fairly thin body. Sweeter finish with a harch note of bitter cold coffee. Not a huge fan, almost decent.

(Bottle 33 cl) Pours a clear, reddish brown with a rough, beige head. Vinous aroma. Medium body with a light tartness and oaky, vinous notes. Unusual with the oak accents in a beer this light in alcohol, but actually very pleasant. 150906
