Black Boar spotted in Devon

Simon Lacey at Country Life has come up with another cracker: Black Boar Porter. A beautifully smooth, roasted porter with a wonderful sheen and superb lingering aftertaste. The flavours develop but don't overpower the senses like some well known porters from Ireland. The lack of nitrogen in the dispense also means the flavours don't have to work hard to evolve. I think I shall list it in the cellar as a guest beer for the winter. Better go and tell Simon.
