April 2009: Rerate, 500 ml bottle, as Okells Aile Smoked Celtic Porter, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is now 4.7%. My comments are basically the same as for "Branded Drinks Coal Fire Porter", so the two beers must indeed be identical. A lovely drop! Original rating: 500 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal pub, Stavanger, under its alias "Branded Drinks Coal Fire Porter". (Are you sure they are exactly the same beer?) ABV is 4.6%. BB date Oct 08. Pitch black colour, large tan head. Lovely aroma of chocolate, roasted malts and plums, with a hint of liquorice. Distinctly roasty flavour with notes of coffee, hints of peat, smoke and tar, bitter finish. The mouthfeel could have been fuller, but this is still a good beer!

The first thing that grabs you is the smokiness followed by a choc/coffee hit , its smooth and dry with a nice lingering flavour that is quite moreish . I found it complemented a nice chargrilled steak really well . Steak and ale can't go wrong .

Pitch black colour, huge white head. Aroma of sweet malts, some hops, roast and hay. Also dark fruit and slight roast. Flavour strong roasted and smoked malts with caramellish hints. Wet smoked wood in finish and aftertaste. Quite leathery all the way through also. Pleasant brew, though the hops do make it a bit "strange".

Black with dark brown edges with a low tan-coloured foam. Dark chocolate, ash, salt, cocoa powder in aroma with peaty undertones. Strong flavour of dark chococlate, tobacco, salt with a whif of smoke. Solid body. Long aftertaste of dark chocolate and peat.
