A classic London style porter reworked with an indulgent twist by Hackney’s Five Points Brewing Company. Rich with chocolate, coffee and caramel aromas and brewed with British East Kent Golding hops, the smooth flavours of this dark beer are perfect for savouring slowly.
Matthew –
Reasonable traditional style porter.
Karl –
Very chocolaty
Waldemar –
Absolutely classic porter. Coffeish with a hint of chocolate, with some nice hoppy finish.
David –
nice enough
Dan –
Jamie –
Strong dark chocolate aroma and flavour, along with the bitterness of the dark chocolate and the roasted coffee in a long finish which also features a slightly citrus sourness.

Rich, classic porter. Think long winter walks and log fires.

I like beer to taste like beer – not chocolate. Not my taste at all.

Good but deteriorated over time.

Not great. Not a big stout fan so not surprising!

Not bad, perhaps the flavours could be stronger and less bitter.

Great chocolade aroma, with coffie and roast notes. Beer is dry and crispy, though – pretty drinkable for a porter! It’s just 4,8% though – it doesn’t have much of a body. … If you look for session type porter, here you go.
Well, I prefer my beers not crispy like this.
Samuel –
Absolutely loved this

Very drinkable porter. Tasty and go down very easily.

I must calrify initially that I have always been a fan of a porter and a stout. So if this was half decent it was always going to get a good score.
Really enjoyed this with a great crisp flavour that manages to pack in lots of chocolate and coffee without being too heavy. Right up my street.

Smooth dark caramel with a nice, faintly coffee, aftertaste
David –
Surprised me, usually don’t like porters but this had great flavours and was very drinkable.

My favourite beer from this first box by far! A nice creamy dark beer with a nice roasted edge and a touch of spice. Would prefer it to be even thicker and richer, but I would certainly be happy to have this one again….

As far as porter go this one was solid. A rich body with a very intense roasted coffee flavor.

Coffee beans, malt and a touch of vanilla on the nose. Lovely dark colour, with a frothy head that doesn’t stick around. Smooth at the start, with the dark chocolate and hoppy flavour lasting until the end, when the coffee bean flavour hits you and sticks around in the aftertaste. A lovely porter, perfect with some salted nuts and dried fruit by a fire!
Darren –
Really nice and chocolaty. Lked this one a lot!
Mark –
Very smooth and tasty.
Amy –
Nice taste of coffee & chocolate, two of my favourite things – a third being beer 🙂
Richard –
This was nice. Quite dry but full of coffee and chocolate and lingered in the mouth for ages.
Darren –
Was good for a porter, but I’m not keen on porters.
Gareth –
A very nice light porter, no drama just very easy to drink
Theo –
Pleasing softly chocolatey flavour and a rich dark colour.
James –
Nice
Darrell –
Don’t do coffee, couldn’t taste anything but coffee.
Christopher –
A delicious if a little over carbonated porter. Strong spiced coffee flavour gives way to chocolate smoothness.
Stephen –
rich mouth feel and lovely complex rich roasty flavour. The aromas that came off were the low point but would drink again
James –
Normally cant drink porters. So was surpised by how nice this was (for a porter)
David –
I love porters but for something that wasn’t advertised as smoked this was very smoky (a little too much so for my taste)
Ingo –
Surprisingly fresh and crisp for a porter. However, porter is just not quite my style.
Matthew –
I like Porters and expected this to be amongst my favourites but it was not to my taste.
Akshay –
Interesting flavour – very intense malty chocolate
Katharine –
Just not our style of beer.
Andrew –
One of my favourite dark beers.
Peter –
If your unsure of dark beers this will change your mind. Packed full of chocolate and coffee notes, but not to heavy!
