Blind-tasted except for the beer's name and brewery/country, zero reviews below read (yet!)...
L- Superficially black, but as so often held to a halogen bulb it's a wonderfully deep ruby-red. Pours clear with a 3mm mid-tan creamy looking head. ps @+10mins, forms copious lacing on the way down.
S- Deeply toasty and quite clear notes of wood-smoke.
T- Follows directly from the smell, loud smoke and even the sense of charred timber.
F- There must be some malts/feel here or what with this imapactful flavour it would feel extremely thin, ie which it doesn't. But the body is certainly secondary and rather over-shadowed.
O- As it warms a touch from fridge-cold it's in parallel warming on me too, more detail is becoming evident. I'm enjoying it, it's polished and would make a good winter beer for fans of black beer.
Review/scoring all done, now the reveal, I get to read the lables to see what I missed! ==> Ah, a smoked porter, and from London.
330ml bottle £2.70 BB: 03/2022 Bought from TremblingMadness, York/UK as part of a large pick-your own consignment to London.
