Pub owners near the London port and train stations were known many years back to serve local porters a cheap mix made of two or three brews that they could not sell. Local brewers then created a beer named Entire that included the main profile of the mix: brown, malty, slightly sweet, with a touch of burnt caramel flavor and not too strong in alcohol. It was the ideal inexpensive beverage to replenish one’s energy without taking the time to have a full meal. It became the Porter’s Beer. In remembrance of this era we created our Big Ben Porter, moderately dry, with flavors of slightly burnt caramel malts. The English hops are bringing a light bitterness to balance it all.

Pours a dark brown with ruby highlights. The head is creamy, beige, has good retention and leaves lots of dirty-sticky lacing. Aromas of roasted malts with notes of coffee and chocolate. The mouthfeel is wet with a little creaminess to it. The taste is mild as well, so goes down nicely and not too heavy. Mostly roasted malts with the burnt aspect lingering a bit in the aftertaste. Hints of dark fruits and coffee. Not sure about the porter style, other than being light in the mouth. Seems more like a watered-down stout.

Pours and looks like coke. Fizzy head is gone in seconds and leaves not a spot of lacing. Subdued aroma of roasted malt. Flavour is not bad but not full like I would expect a porter to be. Moderate malt roastiness, some dark chocolate and old weak coffee. High carbonation with medium mouthfeel. Ok but would not look for it again.
