Black with a beige frothy head where you can hear the fizz. Leaves some retention but no lacing. Aroma of roasted almost burnt coffee beans and vanilla but not getting the chocolate note. The dark chocolate does come through in the taste however, but the prominent flavour is roasted coffee beans but there is a freshness to it which is very pleasant. The mouthfeel is superb with a low but tingly carbonation and full body. I’m not a coffee person but I found this surprisingly moorish. Excellent.

A light coffee aroma. Pours a caramel colour and sits black in the glass. This starts on a sweet vanilla and coffee flavour and ends on a light dark chocolate bitterness. For me, none of the flavours are really that strong and I’m not a big fan of the sweet vanilla and coffee flavour, would have preferred some strong malty or roasted notes.

Oh mah days. This is what you should drink when you’re sick of the same old flavour of iced coffee (is that even a thing?). Like a hot coffee, but it’s colder. Also thicker. I’m not describing it well but trust me, you want this in your face if you like anything resembling a coffee porter.

As with all the Magic Rock beers I’ve tried, this is a really good beer. The coffee is definitely ramped up compared to other ‘coffee porter’ that I’ve tried. Not really any vanilla, but a lovely deep malty taste that I would buy again.

Very nice beer, im easy going with beer and in general like most things, this is rich and decadent beer with a nice coffee and cream taste, I would enjoy this as single beer rather than having 4-5 cans of the stuff as it would get a bit much after more than 2. Very nice overall.

Magic Rock make some great beers. This is dark, dark, dark like a metaphor for life. It’s got classic aromas of chocolate and burnt toast (either that or I’m having a stroke). It’s beautifully smooth and creamy with espresso and coffee bean flavours and a nice sweetness that isn’t too cloying. It’s a good beer.

A light coffee aroma. Pours a caramel colour and sits black in the glass. This starts on a sweet vanilla and coffee flavour and ends on a light dark chocolate bitterness. For me, none of the flavours are really that strong and I’m not a big fan of the sweet vanilla and coffee flavour, would have preferred some strong malty or roasted notes.

Not often in the mood for a porter, but happy to have this when I am. Really smooth, with a lovely coffee taste.
Joe –
Not too overpowering with the coffee and a nice hint of hazelnut. Not a session drink but an enjoyable one off.

Richard –
My favourite coffee porter, well balanced
Lee –
Had better porters and stouts, not as sweet as id hoped but very drinkable.

Pure deliciousness, the roundedness of a stout with the refreshing coffee notes, like a summer Irish coffee after an early evening dinner.

This is a good beer – exactly what it says on the can!
Chris –
I love this! The coffee notes are prevalent without being too in your face. Delicious.
Daniel –
Not the kind of beer I usually buy but I thought I would give it a go. Managed to drink it but it’s not for me! Nice amount of coffee taste though
Graeme –
Tom –
Very good, will reorder for sure
Simon –
Idiosyncratic, interesting
Paul –
Pours very dark with not too much of a head. It’s coffee, coffe, coffee with a hint of toffee aftertaste. Just don’t try sleeping after this one.
Laura –
If you’re a coffee lover than this one is for you…if not…don’t bother!
Richard –
Description is bang on; great balance and depth, no coffee bitterness, doesn’t taste like a percolator filter! The chocolate combines to give a mocha effect. Very dark, great mouthfeel, SOOOO much better than the coffee porters I’ve had in the States. Recommended
Wayne –
Alot of Porters claim to taste of Coffee, but thisnis the real deal! A very rich taste and aroma its like being in a coffee shop. I like it, could do with being marginally sweeter.
Leon –
Full bodied is a perfect description for this beer: Fantastic coffee and vanilla notes.
Chris –
Blair –
Tasty treat – I can’t wait to buy more
James –
Nice session Porter, coffee not as strong as some competitors but still good.
Alex –
darren –

A deliciously moreish porter. Tastes like ice coffee and chocolate.

A fantastic porter full of flavour. The collab behind this beer makes it all the more special. Highly recommend.

A lovely coffee porter, the coffee comes through strong and is very tasty balanced well by the vanilla notes.
Graham –
Paul –
A good drinker, very easy on the palate.
Hayley –
A bit of a rogue purchase but I was really impressed. All the flavours work great together. The beer itself still comes through with the hint of chocolate and coffee just giving it an extra boost. Very impressed.
Alex –
Tim –
Smooth malty and great flavour
Ciaran –
Strong coffee flavour, very enjoyable

Karl –
A coffee porter, is what it says
Charlie –
As with all the Magic Rock beers I’ve tried, this is a really good beer. The coffee is definitely ramped up compared to other ‘coffee porter’ that I’ve tried. Not really any vanilla, but a lovely deep malty taste that I would buy again.
Gergo –
One of the best porters I have tried recently. Difficult to add more notes since the highlights on the can perfectly describe the taste. It’s not sweet at all, makes it a perfect tipple for winter nights.
Kat –
A lovely porter with rich coffee tones; almost an alcoholic espresso in a can with subtle caramel and chocolate notes. A true favourite.
Adrian –
Full-bodied but not overpowering – if you like coffee flavour you’ll love this!
Sophie –
Jonathan –
Rich, dark, coffee
John –
A coffee lover’s dream, it’s got espresso, vanilla latte and mocha.
carl –
Very nice beer, im easy going with beer and in general like most things, this is rich and decadent beer with a nice coffee and cream taste, I would enjoy this as single beer rather than having 4-5 cans of the stuff as it would get a bit much after more than 2. Very nice overall.
Stephen –
Creamy and rich
David –
I enjoyed this a lot. Though obviously quite niche, it works really well. It’s rich and decadent and, though not sweet, could almost be thought of as a dessert beer. David.
Rian –
Nice porter. On the lighter side in consistency. Some nice tartness from the coffee flavours. Tasty dark chocolate tones too.
Stephen –
Good coffee porter with strong taste
Gareth –
Jamie –
Rich dark coffee and chocolate smoothness

Delicious

Great beer to start getting into porters.
David –
Mark –
Paul –
Loretta –
Lovely complex flavour
Ian –
I wish we could give half- stars , as I’d mark this as too good to be a 3….not quite a 4. Can taste the coffee, and the vanilla. Very smooth Porter
Ian –
If you like coffee and porter you can’t go wrong with this beer.
Alfie –
Not too much coffee, it is balanced out well by the chocolate and vanilla hints.
Leon –
A very nice porter but not quite on the same level as a stay puft
Paul –
Robert –
Thomas –
Exactly what it says on the tin, too many coffee porters don’t meet (my) expectation but common grounds does big time.
Adam –
This brewery never disappoint great porter with good coffee flavor great nightcap
Nick –
Not bad but flavour lacks complexity of other porters.
Matt –
Holly –
Smoky coffee flavoured, super smooth and easy to drink!
Stephen –
The coffee flavours really come through on this brew. Well recommended
Sophie –
Nice and heavy. Good late night drink
James –
Nice !
Nicholas –
Magic Rock make some great beers. This is dark, dark, dark like a metaphor for life. It’s got classic aromas of chocolate and burnt toast (either that or I’m having a stroke). It’s beautifully smooth and creamy with espresso and coffee bean flavours and a nice sweetness that isn’t too cloying. It’s a good beer.
Thomas –
Dry and sweet with a bitter finish. Vanilla and chocolate notes.
Martin –
Coffee Matchmakers.
Chris –
Really enjoyed this, super smooth, nice taste. Would buy again.
Sam –
Does what it says on the tin!
Richard –
A full bodied porter, not as sweet as expected
James –
Had an intermediate flavour of the three porters I tried. Gives full prominence to the coffee in the flavour and really showcases it.
BEN –
Black beer, small head, aroma is coffee, roast, vanilla, sweetish, taste is the same, bitter, chocolate, vanilla, nice.
Callum –
Gifted to someone else so can’t review

Anna –
Dark, rich coffee with a hint of vanilla. Nice and smooth.
Antony –
Not bad
simon –
Top notch!
Geoff –
Great beer, an easy drinker too for a porter. Smooth blend of coffee, nut, chocolate and burnt toffee
Daniel –
Love my coffee porters this one does the job
Rob –
Roasted, coffee on the nose; bitter coffee taste but watery – a bit too thin & overcarbonated. Lactose could add body and sweetness.
Phillip –
really nice coffee porter with hints of vanilla
Jonathon –
Really well rounded porter.
Fabio –
Like a cup of coffee in the morning
Michael –
I love a coffee porter, and this is a GOOOOD coffee porter. Rich and delicious.

Kristofer –
