Beer Advent Calendar 2016 - December 8th

Yay more dark beers...

Tenby Brewing Co - Black Flag

Another new brewer for me, and another local (ish!) one at that.  Thankfully this porter isn't particularly strong (5.5%), the flavours are very good - big on coffee, rum, some vanilla in the aftertaste.  Really light body with very little carbonation - wouldn't go so far as to call it thin - but if you're expecting a rich sort of drink look elsewhere.

Silky smooth and...black. Not unlike a jolly roger.  Really, really drinkable.  Think this one lasted maybe 6-7 mouthfuls (insert mum joke here) before it was gone.  Would make an excellent session porter - or a perfect chaser to an IPA.

On the scale of

• Damn tasty.
• Pretty damn tasty.
• It's beer.
• Not really tasty.
• Ew.
