Garrison Brewing - Grand Baltic Porter
Pours rich and black with a full tan coloured head.
Aroma of raspberry, chocolate, and raisin.
Feel is very full and creamy.
Taste is great, raspberry, some kind of citrus, almost like orange but not quite. Lot's of chocolate roasted malt.
A very nice blend of tastes, no alcohol burn that I can feel except in the aftertaste. Well hidden for a 9% beer. The whole flavour is very smooth.
The finish lingers a long time, the chocolate and citrus tastes last and the raspberry flavour is still there along with that very light alcohol burn.
This is a great beer and goes especially well on one of the few true winter days we have had this year.
If you like Porters go and grab some while they last cause I am going back for more and there may not be many left when I get done with them.

Fullers London Pride

Pleasant smoky aroma. Have never come across a smell like that in an ale. Flowery with a bit of citrus flavor. Nice clean bitter after taste. Another great blend of hops and malt, (or bitter and sweet). All in all another great beer, not quite as good a blend as the Fullers ESB.
This is what Fuller's has to say about this beer:
"London Pride is a smooth and astonishingly complex beer, which has a distinctive malty base complemented by a rich balance of well developed hop flavours from the target, challenger and northdown varieties in the brew. At 4.1% a.b.v in cask (4.7% a.b.v in bottles)London Pride is an ideal session-strength premium ale."
