Expert description of Samuel Smith Taddy Porter

Samuel Smith Taddy Porter is the brewery's take on the classic English porter style, brewed at Yorkshire's oldest brewery in Tadcaster since 1758. The beer offers fine notes of liquorice and chocolate, with an almost whipped-cream-like head that gives a soft first impression before a fresh bitterness steps in and balances the dry finish.

It is a porter made for quiet moments rather than grand celebrations - a solid, well-balanced beer rooted in British brewing craft, where dryness and bitterness keep the sweetness of chocolate and liquorice in check.
