Samuel Smith Taddy Porter (55cl, 5%)

Samuel Smith Taddy Porter is a traditional English porter brewed in Tadcaster, North Yorkshire, by Samuel Smith Old Brewery, founded in 1758. It is fermented in stone Yorkshire squares made of Welsh slate, brewed with water from the original 1758 well and a house yeast strain used since about 1900, from malted barley, hops, cane sugar and water with no adjuncts. The aroma shows toasted malt, bittersweet cocoa, molasses, raisin, earthy hops and light smoke. The palate is smooth and malty with toasted nut, toffee, roasted barley tang, pumpernickel, dates, pecans and molasses. The finish is medium with bittersweet cocoa, roasted barley, velvety texture and smoky warmth.
