Pours almost jet black with a brown eclipse into a tulip from a bottle. The fawn head is quick to recede into surface froth leaving thick sudsy lacing on the glass.
The aroma is all thick smoky roasted grains, with some char and tobacco. The flavour is pretty much a follow on from the aroma to a T, with a very charry, smoky, and roasted grain-like dominance as the name suggests. And as the name suggests, there is supposed to be a salted quality to this porter...but I'm not picking that up at all. There is quite a malty/assam flavour in the background which bolsters the porter in a way I've not really experienced before, but no salt that I can tell.
It feels minimally carbonated, wet and quite thin, if I'm honest. A porter should be a bit more robust than this, and it comes across a tad watery.
Overall this is a nice tasting beer with some good smoky notes and a nice malty backbone; it's by no means a salted caramel and/or chocolate concoction - or anything of that calibre - that I was expecting, but still a nice average porter.
