I have made no plan of drinking the Toast Companion Box beers in any particular order but this evening I was after something particular, it is bitterly cold and I fancied something with a bit of body. This Baltic Porter. Sambrooks have been brewing in South West since 2009. In 2019 they moved to he old Young's Brewery in Wandsworth.
On the nose this is full of coffee and dark malt notes even a hint of burnt toast (yes really) it leads the drinker in demanding that he or she takes a good slug. In the mouth this is rich and malty with a hint of chocolate and some dark caramel with a sweetness which perfectly balances the final dry finish.
As the gritting lorry drives past Corner Cottage in preparation for a frosty night I don't think I could have chosen a better beer for tonight!
