L- Effectively black, pours with 5mm fine pale-tan head clearing very slowly.
S- Toasty, even slightly smokey.
T- Quite dry, distinctly toasty, going into quite a pungent smokeyness, with a slightly sour/tangy finish.
F- Quite pungent, would tolerate a moderate chilling. I do register a quite meaty body and have to sloosh this actively around my mouth to get a sense of the added damson fruit.
O- Very unusual to me, a smokey porter with a dry finish, with fruit I find hard to spot. It's won some quite prestigious awards though, so perhaps it's me!
Bottle Conditioned. BB: Sep-2019
ps. The other 8Sail 'Damson Porter' listed here is 4.5%. Since that one only had two reviews from 2013 and 2015, I created a new iteration for it as 'Damson Porter 5.0%'. It currently lists as such on the brewery's website.
I also noticed that another of my beers from them also has a different ABV% to this website. Perhaps the brewery shift ABVs around more often than one might expect?
