Custom Beers Dark Roast Porter
Custom Beers Limited

Tasted by half-pint at the London Drinker's beerfest., March 06, gravity-dispensed. The beer was not listed in the beerest. programme so came as a pleasant surprise.

A: pours a dark brownish hue, coming with a thin but foamy, dark yellowish beer head and low carbonation.
S: almost leather-ish and smoked, coffeeish maltiness plus an intriguing "musk" aroma(?!)... very fragrant on top of heavily roasted malts. Extremely nice!
T: aromatic on the palate, along with a light-bodied flavour mixed of bitter-coffeeish roasted malts and a lightly sour bitter-sweet nutty taste at the back; increasingly nutty and bitter-sweet, rounded off with faintly smoky hints... overall, showing a pleasant, vertical structure on the palate.
M&D: for the fullsome flavour the texture/palate is surprisingly light, thus making an utterly drinkable porter. Recommended!
