Hogan Sampling		07 Feb 2026	3rd beer of the visit: Good head and lacing presented and nearly lasting on this coffee-infused porter from Snainton in North Yorkshire, 9 to 10 miles west of Scarborough.* A very good coffee-infused first hit. A chocolatey maltiness rising from its five different malts in on the mix. A hoppy bitterness winning over aided by its English Bramling or First Gold hops used. A lively coffee bean or two performing somersaults on my taste buds and achieved by either its specialised infusion of mocha flavouring post-fermentation or by just the right blend of coffee and chocolate mixed in. A hint of caramel tantalising my taste buds, too, with this porter's infusions merging with its hoppiness winning over. A lingering minty chocolatey note pervading in its aftertaste. *North Riding Brewery is said to be highly regarded by CAMRA at some of its festivals for this brewery's flavoured porters.
