3.7 backlog from Milano Dark brown, almost black, opaque, creamy head. Aroma: roasted, malty, low herbal hops. Taste: moderate to light sweetness with grassy bitterness. Creamy body. Flavour: roasted, malty, coffee. Very good.

4.2 Half pint on tap at The Pelt Trader, Cannon Street, London. Black with a tan head. Rich chocolate and coffee aroma. Smooth, slick mouthfeel. Taste of more rich chocolate and coffee, powdered cocoa, touch of lightly roasted malts. Light bitterness. Distinct mocha finish. Utterly delicious. Would I drink it again? The first chance I get.

3.9 Goeie koffie chocolade Porter. Licht droog geroosterde smaak van gebrande mout. Volle body met een lange nasmaak. Zachte volle licht bittere smaak van gebrande mout, koffie en chocola. Mooie niet te overheersende geur van gebrande koffie en chocola.Donkerbruin gemiddeld koolzuur en een licht beige schuimkraag. Hoe langer ik er van geniet hoe enthousiaster ik van deze Porter van maar 5,2 procent die de concurrentie met Imperial stouts zelfs nog aan kan. Proefglas

3.6 Draught. Pours almost black with a massive beige head, lovely appearance. It directly strikes with floral aromas, prunes and chocolate. But this is not a black IPA, as we see in the flavours with very clear cocoa powder and a balanced bitterness. Full body with a very long finish.

2.7 Very malty with chocolate flavours bottle from beer52

5.0 Maybe it’s the music festival putting this to 5.00 but this is a fantastic porter whoever you ask. Great smoky bite and smooth finish

3.7 Creamy beige head soon left a collar on a jet black still body. Nutty malt aroma . Medium bodied, smooth on the palate with a tingle on the back & clean finish. Smoky tastes of malt, dark spirits, demerara & bitter plum.

4.6 Amazingly good coffee porter

4.4 Brewed in Hackney this Porter is a tasty number. A 4.8% strength and a nice deep taste. My palette is poor but the advertised taste of chocolate, coffee and caramel is very pleasant. Limited head, but that’s no particular loss. Tasty.

4.0 Strong dark chocolate aroma and flavour, along with the bitterness of the dark chocolate and the roasted coffee in a long finish which also features a slightly citrus sourness.
