A taste of Christmas, spicy sweet porter

Smooth and chocolaty with a touch of vanilla. A slight spicy heat from the cinnamon. Very good Porter.

A bit bland.

I'm a big fan of Northern Monk's beers and this does not disappoint. Like any good stout it's quite thick. Chocolate is definitely the main taste but the cinnamon is in there with it. I'm feeling the vanilla is more in the aftertaste, but I'm not sure I'd have known it was there if I wasn't looking. Also this is 6%, as per the picture, not the 5.9% as listed.
Dominic –
Decent smooth porter, shame about the artificial chocolate flavour in the aftertaste
Rob –
Christmassy enough but not a keeper
Peter –
Adam –
A little bit thin for the flavours used. Would really benefit from a bit more mouthfeel.

Nice, creamy, vanilla, but sadly not enough cinnamon for me

The vanilla and cinnamon come through nicely
Ben –
Tasted like a luxury spiced coffee, which is no bad thing.

feel like an alcoholic chai latte which is great

It’s nice enough, I’m just not big on the spices

3.75 Aroma is a bit bland, but the taste is well balanced. Very enjoyable and not too rich, which is a problem I’ve had with other NM beers.

Excellent. Thick, full and chocolatey.
Adam –
Loads of vanilla and chocolate flavour with a touch of cinnamon, but not too much to overpower the rest of the flavours. Quite thick but very tasty, ideal for cold weather.

Dan –
Just what you'd expect from Northern Monk, lots of flavour combinations together to produce a power porter, really nice this one
David –
Lovely Porter, vanilla & Cinnamon, what’s not to like!
Sean –
bit like a Christmas Guinness. Really decent. Nice festive drink

Aromas of chocolate and roasted malt. Pours black in the glass. Medium bodied, Festive Star starts on bitter dark chocolates malts and some sour notes of lactose. The cinnamon spicing is subtle and there's just the slightest hit of smooth, sweet vanilla towards the end. On the finish you get a dusty and bitter cinnamon taste. A nice light porter with a festive twist.
John –
Okay
Christopher –
Festive AF. Loved it.

Just right for a comforting, smooth , Christmassy vibe.

Lee –
Very nice but a bit of a safe Christmas beer. More of a solid porter.
Had a nice treacle flavour cutting through the chocolate and coffee.
Didn't really get much cinnamon.

Pretty amazing, the nose is neutral but the depth of spice and flavour is impressive. Very satisfying.

Was expecting a lot from this however the flavours just didn't come through for me.

Really nice, very festive indeed!

Strong taste of cinnamon with a coffee aftertaste
Adam –

Nice porter, vanilla, cinnamon, chocolate not too evident though
Simon –
Fine, not bad at all. Feels like the basis of what could be a very good beer if they wanted to develop it
Adam –
Lovely stuff

Ian –
Nice level of Cinnamon, just wish it was in a bigger can

A lot going on.

Decent porter, not sure the spices are forthcoming enough

Wish it was a little thicker

Festive star is always a banger! Cinnamon works so well
