Harveys Porter (Bottle)

Brewed by Harveys
Style: Porter
Lewes, England

Pours a nice deep dark brown, nearly completely opaque with a thin creamy pale brown head. Smell is very prominent, lots of roasted malts. Some dark chocolate, some coffee, and a hint of raisins. Fllavour is very sweet at first, and a nice bit fruity too. Finish is bitter like coffee and dark roasted malt. Not much to speak of as far as hops go. It’s nice and chewy in the mouth, maybe a touch over carbonated. Nice beer though.

A vinous porter somehow, interesting treacle flavour. Pretty complex, I can find coffee, chocolate and raisings among other things from this. For its strenght an admirably tasty porter.

500 mL bottle purchased from LCBO in Toronto for $3.70. Pours a black with a smal brown head that dissipates quickly. Roasted malt aroma, but not overly strong. First taste is very nice - thick and oatmealy. Stays a treat all the way down with its nice thick feel.

275ml bottle. Hard black with a wisp of head soon gone. Aroma starts with creamy coffee, first taste reveals a light roast with a sweet edge. Aroma starts to soften to a sweet liquorice, flavour stars to dullen a little and certainly become sweeter. Savour is the fading fruit finish that tempers the sweetness and leaves a little lingering chocolate in its wake.

Uber dark pour. Looks like a black stout with a thin tan head. Aroma of toffee, licorice, caramel and chocolate. Very dark choclat and coffee taste wtih a licorice aftertaste. A little to thick and the finish is too dry but rather good overall. A nice porter.

Beautiful cola-brown. Healthy, long-lasting brown head, easily adjusted by pour. Toasty, smoky, molasses hiits first with malty finish. Good hop balance, bitter, grapefruity finish. Maltiness lingers - five minutes later you know you’ve had a Porter.

Bouteille 500ml, courtoisie de Hogtownharry. De couleur noire et opaque. Nez de malt rôti, de chocolat au lait (notes lactiques), de houblon herbeux et aux notes terreuses ainsi qu’avec des notes de café et de pain rôti. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-bas et une texture crémeuse et aux petites notes aqueuses. Léger goût de chocolat au lait (notes de lactose) accompagné d’un léger goût boisé ainsi que des petites notes fruitées (raisins) et de tabac de cigarette lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût moyennement amer de malt assez rôti (faibles notes brûlées) ainsi qu’un léger goût de chocolat noir et des notes de pain grillé et de mélasse (faibles traces de toffee) puis en finale l’on retrouve une amertume de houblon herbeux asséchant (thé) aux notes terreuses et également des notes de café. Post-goût long-moyen et plutôt sec, moyennement amer de rôti-brûlé, de houblon herbeux, léger de chocolat et avec des traces de café.
