Coffee and chocolate ... just like it says on the label. Smooth mouthfeel with sweet chocolate throughout. Ideal desert beer. Might get a bit sickly but still yum!

Light to taste... Sort of sweet ish... Bugger all finish on it. It recommends itself as a compliment to seafood... Maybe. I had a few in a row and it didn't grow on me. Would I buy it for myself... Nope!

London Porter

Percentage: 5%
Aroma: 6/10
Appearance: 8/10
Taste: 6/10
Palate: 8/10
Purchased at: Countdown
Additional comments:
a soft but pleasant aroma of darker roasted malt. It washes over the tongue with a similar softness but then doesn't quite pack the punch of flavour that you would hope for. It does then finish with some nice bitterness.
If you want a soft and mild porter then this is for you. If you want some more punch to a darker ale then keep looking.
All up though I am happy to drink it and would have it again. Easy to drink a few over the night.

This is a really nice beer. Malty and hoppy but not over the top. The bitter hops linger but don't overpower the maltiness of the overall finish. Yum!

I had high hopes for this. Maybe too high. Looks good and smells great, but at the end of the day it's a bit underwhelming. Good mouthfeel due to the champagne yeast? And it tastes fine but I was after spectacular.
