A dark full-flavoured beer but smoother and less bitter than stout. Made with softened water, Propeller London Porter is a blend of pale, roasted and chocolate malts, hopped with English and North American varieties. Porter was the drink of the masses long before lagers or modern ales were fashionable. The name Porter originated because this strong, nourishing drink was reputed to be the favourite beverage of the hard working porters of London's Covent Gardens.

Enjoyed a pint at the Old Triangle Irish Alehouse. Pours not much head at all really. Has a dark brown appearance. Aromas of toffee, chocolates and dark roasted malts. Flavours are fairly sweet, some dark chocolate, coffee, barley malts and also some notes of toffee. Mild tingling sensation. Smooth and silky mouthfeel. Pretty good and easy to drink.

Pours with a dark brown body topped by a thin head with some lacing left on the glass. It’s slightly sweet and malty with a very slight touch of roast and a hint of candy sugar. Light bodied for a porter, smooth and a touch dry.

Bought this one in Edmonston, N.B. when I was on tour with my band. Comes in a bomber bottle and pours a dark brown with red highlights. Its head is big, beige, creamy with great retention and creamy-bubbly lacing. The nose is mostly roasted malt with some hop, nuts and only little notes of coffee and chocolate. Not too thick of a mouthfeel, but not too watery either. Just a little sticky and kind of refreshing as well. The taste is good, but not too powerful. Roasted malt again mostly, with some toffee, coffee and mild bitterness from the hop. Overall well-balanced and not so-punchy London porter to be easy-drinking.

A nice porter and fresh is definetly the right word. Nice chestnut apperance with a bit of head. Nice flavour, i guess sparkling is the best way to describe it, with a little bit of carbination for a porter. Very light for such a dark beer. Very drinkable.

Fresh!! A nice drinkable london porter. Deep cola colored, nice 2 finger tan cap lasts and laces well. Medium bodied, good malt spine soapy-charred character and a silky mouth feel. Fresh dark malts up front, some dried fruits, toasty, charred chickory...wet finish where some bittering and charred toast tastes prevail. A dinkable session porter...3 of 4 of these will slide right down

Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color porter with a medium dark brown bubbly head with average retention. Aroma of roasted malt with a hint of chocolate and coffee. The roasted malt with a subtle undertone of chocolate and coffee also dominates taste. Body is medium full and carbonation is low. Very good example of the style.

I kinda had to slam this one a bit as I was on a pub crawl in Halifax. It seemed pretty good to me.
