Very dark red, lovely raosted aroma. Soot, toasted grain, a pleasant sourness. Easy drinking without letting go of flavour and aroma.
Send some bottles to St James’ Gate! berkshirejohn (1823), Bracknell, Berkshire, England
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 21, 2009 50cl bottle from M&S. Deep copper brown with a rapidly dissipating beige head; rich coffee aroma; dry in the mouth with richly roasted malts with some sweet milk chocolate flavours; satisfyingly warming smoky and nutty finish, despite the relatively low ABV. Excellent. johndoughty (2159), cheslyn hay, West Midlands, England
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Nov 14, 2009 Bottle. Bronze with a lovely slightly spicy maltiness. Medium body and so easy to drink.another excellent one from M and S. Finwe (62), Grankulla, Finland
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 12, 2009 0,5 l bottle from M&S. Dark brown in colour, almost black. Smallish beige head. Impression of coffee and chocolate from the aroma. Coffee, chocolate and some smoke in the flavour. A good basic porter, although a bit watery, at least compared with the best ones I’ve had chance to taste. turbothy (722), Bonn, Germany
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Nov 8, 2009 0.5L bottle from Marks & Sparks. Pours quite black with a small head. Powerful coffee aroma. Well crafted porter body with coffee, toffee and smoke in good proportions. And yet, it still lacks the wow-factor to make it an utterly great beer. Bullit (1374), Glasgow, Scotland
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 18, 2009 Botlle, 500ml from M&S. I believe this one is different from the 6.5% Meantime London Porter. Dark brown colour, beige head. Aroma of roasted malts and chocolate. Flavour is roasted malts. A bit watery and light but well drinkable.
