A classic London Porter, this rich dark ale has its roots in the early brewing history of England. This full bodied, medium hopped beer is a great partner for the heavy game pies and meats.

Taster and later a proper pint at the source.
Dark brown with faint garnet at the edges decent sized long lasting tightly bubbled off white head. Rich caramel and chocolate maltiness with bits of roasted coffee and faint dark dried fruit. Very well made porter.

Look: Pours a lovely black with hints of red, with a good creamy brown head leaves good lacing
Smell: Chocolatey roasted malts with caramel
Taste: Roasted malts, chocolate, caramel, bread. Some good but not overwhelming sweetness, with a little bitterness
Feel: Medium body with low to medium carbonation
Overall: This is a very good porter, very enjoyable, especially drinking a few on a hot day. Highly recommend this when in Bermuda.

In my opinion, this should be the Frog & Onion's signature selection.
This dark porter pours thick and looks rich and has the punch to follow suit. It has a big malty character and good coffee notes, reminiscent of a fresh Guinness but with a much better underlying flavor. With a fairly strong ABV and a tasty finish this beer has virtually nothing going against it. A nice, strong porter.

Draught @ Frog and Onion: This one pours a fairly dark brown color. You can’t see through it, yet it is still clear. There was a finger of tan head that left some lacing. The aroma is good, but a touch light. Mainly coffee and roasted malts. The taste is also good. It has a slightly lighter body, but still a lot of taste. Coffee and roasted malts dominate, with some bitterness. Nice.
