Day 277-Beer 277 Elemental Porter Ale, Renaissance Brewing Co. Marlborough New Zealand

Hey Malcolm this ones for you. This one is an English Porter. The name apparently dates back to the 1700's when this style of beer was popular with transportation workers in London. This one poured almost black in colour with a small tan head that left some nice sticky lacing. The aroma was molasses, caramel, espresso and roasted malts. The flavour included coffee and caramel with a sweet toffee background. A good brew but not a great example of its style. 3.5 out of 6
