#11 - Harrington's Wobbly Boot Porter Ale - 5% ABV

I poured this lovely deep black red porter on a cloudy day in the Coromandel when the humidity was around 90%. Moisture clung to the glass immediately.

Wobbly Boot has a lovely, huge roasty bitter coffee nose to it. So big that everyone sitting at the table commented on how good it smelled. Body-wise, it's incredibly smooth with a delciously chocolaty texture and creaminess.

There's an initial dash of sweetness up front which makes way for a moreish bitterness at the end. It's a touch medicinal, but not unpleasantly so - it manages to sit with the bitterness really nicely.

Toasty. Roasty. Unbelievably moreish.
