A decent beer. I like a little more malt presence in porters. You might even say that I like porters a little closer to Stouts. This is a little lighter in both appearance and head then I would expect. It does however have a nice agreeable taste once you start drinking. Initially is seemed a bit watery.
It’s a good beer but not one that I would go out of my way to buy.

7/06/2008: Entire Butt English Porter has a dark brown (coffee-like) and small, fluffy tan head. The aroma has a really nice blend of dark fruits, chocolate, and roasted malts the form a vineous-like presentation. The flavor is roasty and slightly sour/acidic like espresso. Semi-sweet chocolate comes through in the finish. The flavor seems a bit watered down as the beer comes up to temperature, but some additional bitterness (dark chocolate/cocoa-like) starts to come through. This beer has an average palate, (medium-light to medium body, and is really easy to drink. Overall this is a simple and clean Engish porter. Full-flavored and low alcohol beer is always welcomed!
50cl bottle (Alc. 4.8% vol, F 08 322) from Tmoney99. Thanks Tom! Rating #228 for this beer...

Jun 22, 2008 Bottle. Very dark brown with minimal head. Chocolatey/milky/greasy/sweet/roasty nose with a lot of barley. More of the same on the tongue. Seems like a great English porter if you’re into the style. I’m not so much.

Jun 15, 2008 Bottled. Poured deeper cola brown with a short, denser cap of beige head. The aroma had sweeter chocolate overtones along with brown sugar and roasted barley.. on the lighter end overall, but pleasant enough. The flavor found dry-roasted barley and a sweeter array of chocolates at the core with charred black malts riding out the sides and sticking on the finish.. cola and light coffee also join in. Lighter-bodied and dry on the palate.. OK feel. OK beer.
