Porter

Brewery: Founders Brewing Co.
Supplier: Beers of Europe

This is founds only bottled all-year round dark beer; and has the slogan "Dark, Rich & Sexy". I served this at room temperature.
Appearance: Pitch black with a thin short-lasting head, quite carbonated.
Aroma: Sweet with grapes and chocolate, with hints of raisins and honey.
Flavour: Dark chocolate on the front, followed by roasted coffee, and finishing with huge amounts of honey. These flavours disappear with drinking.
Body: A bit thin with a harsh type of fizz. 
Aftertaste: The honey dominates with some chocolate notes, these flavours also disappear with time.

Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 4, nice and simple, but the flavours don't really last.

Price Range: £2.49 for a 355ml bottle, not a bad price for not a bad beer.

Food Pairings: Definitly one to have with a dessert, prefrably a creamy (but non-chocolate/coffee) pudding.
