Time for another ale of the day post, it is the weekend after all! May I introduce you to a real favourite of mine, brewed right here in Edinburgh by Barney’s Brewery: The Capital Porter. Brewed 100% naturally, this porter is 4.2% ABV, which is medium-low strength.
When poured, it is a deep, dark browny red colour and smells predominantly of black treacle, malt and coffee. On the palate it begins sweeter than a regular porter and ends with a light-medium bitter finish leaving a longstanding milk chocolate and malt aftertaste – which, all in all, is absolutely delicious. This is, in my opinion a very easy drinking porter. My advice with this one is to serve it more at room temperature to really appreciate the taste. The day I find this beer on tap will be one of the happiest of my life, I’m sure of it.
My Score: 9/10
Girlfriend’s Score: 8.5/10
The wee Drunk Chef Rating: 8.75/10
Barney's Beer is brewed on the site of the original 1800’s Summerhall brewery in Edinburgh. All of the beer brewed there is done so using traditional techniques with no pasteurisation and a 100% natural brewing process.
