Wickwar - Station Porter (6.1%)




Taste: After a stress ridden M4 journey, I needed an edge removing ale so I reached for this 'Supreme Champion Beer 2008'. Wow! Edges hacked off in first gulp. 2nd gulp: I feel the urge to build a log fire. 3rd gulp: I feel exactly like one the men in the above photo - my sofa has even transformed into a dry stone wall. As for taste: Wintery roasted pipe smoke and burnt 90% cocao solids chocolate action.
Appearance: Peat bog

Would you buy 2? During a blackout, definitely...

Would you buy 4? If off to the North Sea for a months hard fishing...

Rating (out of 7): * * * * * (I want to revisit this ale when the snow comes...)
