Samuel Smith Old Brewery Taddy Porter English Porter at 5.0% ABV
Pours a deep ruby brown with a short-lived tan head diminishing to a thin skim and no lacing. Nose is dark roasted (almost smoky) malt, coffee, chocolate, dark fruit. Taste follows suit completely. Medium body, soft carbonation, and a pleasant short bitter finish.
Decent, well-behaved porter. Malty without being too sweet, dark without being too bitter, and a light body – all in all, very drinkable.
My 108th from the 2010 Edition of 1001 Beers, 102nd by the 2013 Edition, and 111th overall.
