Batemans Mr. George's Ruby Porter

This 5.0% ABV porter is from Batemans in Wainfleet, Lincolnshire, United Kingdom.  Porters take their  name from the men who originally preferred the style, the river and street porters of 18th century London.

The beer pours extremely dark brown to black in appearance, with ruby when held to the light.  There is a half to full inch of thick and creamy head, light brown in color.  The aroma is dark roasted malt, sweet and smoky, molasses and wet grain.  The taste is sweet and tangy dark roasted malt, light molasses, with a touch of dark chocolate.  Nice, but not exceptional in any way.
