Beer Information and Tasting Notes

St Peter's Old-Style Porter

By Jeff Evans

Nose: Chocolate and freshly-ground coffee, with a touch of caramel. There are also hints of raisin and winey fruit.
Palate: Smooth, rich and mostly sweet, packed with the flavours of dark chocolate, nutty coffee and a little vinous fruit.
Finish: Dry and nutty, with bitter chocolate and coffee.
Comment: As its name reveals, this is a porter produced the old way, by blending aged beer with a younger brew. It's full of flavour, yet well balanced. A good, hefty, ultimately bitter porter.
