Hogan Sampling		08 Feb 2025	A superbly creamy head on this Maldon-based porter and holding its head and lacing well. A very malty first hit. Was not in the least sweet as darker ales can tend to be with just the merest hint of coffee and chocolate. A moreish dryness and maltiness lingering.

Hogan Sampling		31 Jan 2025	One of the smallest of tasters on record for me. It was though enough to have a good swish of this Maldon porter and detect the sweet chocolatey malt in it which persuaded me not to have a half of it afterall.

Hogan Sampling		30 Nov 2024	A head and lacing to begin with but soon disappeared. A dry first hit with the merest hint of chocolate in this porter with a malty aftertaste.
