Samuel Smiths Taddy Porter

Brewed by Samuel Smith
Style: Porter
Tadcaster, England

Pours a rather dark brown. Tastes of roasted malts with some minimal hints of coffee. Head is rather thick and laces the glass well. Overall, it’s a pretty good porter, though nothing very outstandish about it either.

Bottle. Good appereance with a deep brown colour and a brown, persistent foam. Coffee aroma and a roasty taste with light traces of chocolate.

Cockney Pub, Aarhus, DK. Bottled. Dark brown with nice head. Aroma is of malt, coffee and dried fruit. Flavor is of caramel and notes of chocolate.

Bottle from monopoly outlet, Oslo. pours like Coca cola. Nice yeasty aroma with caramel and some coffee. Kinda sweet, a bit thin with metallic aftertaste. More coffee coming through. A descent brew.

I ordered a bottle of this last night at a restaurant and for some reason it was served with a pilsner glass. Dark brown body that has a glimmer of red, creamy tan head. Smells sweetly of dark fruit roasted grains. Taste was very full and well rounded, slight bitterness, some raisin, plum, chocolate, and caramel. Yummy. Mouthfeel was full and smooth. Very good.

Sweet aroma, lightly roasty. Flavor is pretty solid, sweet sugary, not terribly bitter or roasted though, more on the sweet side. Reminds me a bit of Lion Stout. Body is carbonated and thin. A nice, easy to drink porter.

This is a solid porter. No frills, nothing quite memorable either, however. Looks good, smelt good, tasted good, but also missed out on providing me with a good aftertaste. Actually, there were no lingering effects of the beer.

Pours Black with creamy head. Smell of roasted barley. Strong porter taste. Coffee complex. Fairly good offering.
