Supplier: Kris Wines
It just has "Porter" on the bottle but I've seen the name "Pay the Ferryman Porter" too often for it to be coincidence, it also has a better ring to it. Brewed by the Day of the Dead (Dia De Los Muertos) Brewery as part of the Cerveceria Mexicana breweries Craft beer project. I served this at room temperature. Also, twist top, not expecting that!

Appearance: Jet black with a milk chocolate head that disappears almost instantly into nothing.
Aroma: Smells like honey mixed with balsamic vinegar.
Flavour: Very light on the front with hints of chocolate on the back, very low in flavour
Body: Seems like a beer flavoured soft drink, highly carbonated and very light. It is, however, very smooth.
Aftertaste: This is where the taste comes in with honeyed chocolate malt. This goes with some drinking and a more vinaigrette flavour comes out. Some black olive notes.
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 3, almost a 4 as it has some nice flavours but the soft drink characteristics are too hard to get over. Would probably be better served from the fridge (which I should have expected seeing as it comes from Mexico...).
Price Range: £1.99 for a 330ml bottle. Not a bad price but not a great beer, probably wouldn't get it again. However, I would try some of their lighter beers as the flaws in this could be less noticeable in those types.
Food Pairings: A strong salad, such as one with anchovies.
