Samuel Smith's, The Famous Taddy Porter
This robust porter pours a rich black with a wonderful tan head. The head is creamy with decent retention. It smells like chocolate and coffee with distinct British malt. Taste is very round and blended. There are hints of chocolate and coffee surrounding a complex malt character. The hallmark of the flavor of this beer is the classic nature. I can think of no better example of a classic English porter. Mouthfeel is smooth and robust. I finished my 12 oz bottle and immediately wanted another. I may suggest opting for the 16 oz bottle on this one, because 12 is just not quite enough.
