I get and like this porter with coffee; but I don't get the pumpkin. But, that's probably OK since I don't like vegetables in my beer.
The porter (traditionally a mix of slightly stale and fresh dark brew) and the coffee (a more stimulating and bitter brew) usually work well together and do so here. They do so particularly with the several McVittie's Dark Chocolate Digestives that I just ate. I'm getting several complementary flavors with the stale, bitter and bittersweet all layered nicely. As for the pumpkin, I could imagine it faintly is in this brew... but I'm not sure how truthful that would be.
My first from Elusive, they remain so with me. Their website is basic, revealing only they are eight years old and brew in an industrial estate outside of Reading; which is outside of greater London. They also have a taproom open two days a week. But they are eight years old, survived Covid and have the future ahead of them. So they get, at least, OK Overall Hugs.
