#258 Arcadia Ales - London Porter

This beer has a strong roasted aroma, almost smoky, like food cooked over open fire. There is also a hint of molasses or syrup aroma. The color is black, with no light getting through. The head is thin with a light brown color.

The taste is rich with roasted malt flavors. The roasted smoky aroma is clear in the taste. There is also plenty sweetness with syrup flavors. There is a little hot alcohol taste, could be fusal alcohol since this is only a 7.2% beer. The mouthfeel medium with plenty of carbonation. The finish is sweet with a hint of roast.

This is a really good beer. I like the additional smoke flavor giving the beer more depth that other porters. Very tasty beer.
