Have just tried the first bottle of my first batch of this Porter. It pours like liquid silk and tastes outstanding! Great kit, highly recommended.

Lovely think and creamy with hints of roasted coffee and malts. Served on 30:70 nitro and a nitro tap. Like Guinness at home! Helps that our water is hard so good for this kind of beer.

Amazing beer. Made a split batch and on 10L added a vanilla pod soaked in bourbon and my god… that turn out to be something special!
Highly recommended!

I wholeheartedly agree with the others here. I didn’t think i even liked dark beers but I couldn’t get enough of this stuff. so good!

Really lovely beer. Cleared within a day. Tasted after two days lovely chocolate notes. Great head retention. Can’t wait for the second taste in a few weeks just ready for Xmas. Definitely will buy again

Just made this again. It’s really wonderful. Fermentation at 22 degrees. Finished in 8 days. Drunk on day 10. Perfect. Really chocolate notes come through when served at lower temp. The beer was clear straight away.
That’s from keg using beergas. Bottled some which will take a couple of weeks. Everyone needs to make this one
