My Dad ordered this beer while out with myself, my Mom, and my wife at a local pub recently. He knows that I like to log reviews of beers so he gave me a few sips (he received a few in return from my beers as well).
This beer pours a dark brown hue with a reddish glow around the edges. It is opaque with no carbonation visible. The head is creamy and off white and dissipates quickly but then levels off at about 1/8" tall. 4/5 The aroma is very sweet with toffee and berries really coming through, but these aromas are backed up by an earthy oakiness. The sweetness overpowers any sharpness present. This is a very interesting aroma for a porter. It smells dark but the berries somewhat brighten things up a bit. 3.75/5 The flavor profile has full of fruit with berries, dates, and dark cherries all coming through at various times. A light bit of toffee provides a sugar splash of sweetness before the oak and a bit of char make their way in. The sweetness is significant here and bitterness is quite low and does not linger after swallowing. 3.25/5 This is a medium bodied porter that is smooth, creamy, and mouthcoating. Carbonation is low. 3.5/5 This is one of the more interesting porters that I have had but it is not necessarily one that I will return to. I applaud the attempt and going a bit off the wall with the style, but the berries and sweetness are just a bit odd here. 3.5/5
