Hogan Sampling		13 Dec 2025	3rd day on for this High Brooms' porter, north-east of Tunbridge Wells. Again as on Thursday, good head and lacing but not lasting. A dry fruited, malty, dark chocolatey and smoky first hit. Definitely getting a good hint rising of dark fruit, the odd prune or two, and aniseed flavouring. A moreishly dry bitterness winning over. A hoppy note competing and emanating from its Columbus and Fuggles hops and sailing out.
Philip Pirrip		11 Dec 2025	Initial poured head dissipated very quickly
Hogan Sampling		11 Dec 2025	First night on for this High Brooms-brewed porter, north-east of Tunbridge Wells, with a good creamy head and lacing lasting. A malty and dark chocolatey first bite complete with a moreish smokiness from its roasted grains and Beech smoked malt. A good hoppy note from its Columbus and Fuggles hops rising. Hints of sweet sherry in on the concoction alongside dark fruit, prune and aniseed. A dry bitterness intermingling with its six different malts lingering.
Philip Pirrip		10 Dec 2025	Good but little body
