Vernon
Old English Porter (Porter,  8.5%) - A thick, black beer with complex roasty, nutty, sweet flavour that packs a punch. Unique and richly satisfying, it is surprising, but impressive, that a brewery that has strayed ever closer to the mass market has kept this one on.

I found it great tasting and long lasting no need to drink two as one will do you.

I've never seen it, but if I do I'll be sure to try it based on the other comments - I think it's great when a big brewer can continue to produce some tasty small(er) batch offerings alongside their mainstream beers. It might not rake in profits, but it gives them some cred.

Had this porter at Ainsworth Hot Springs with some fish & chips, what a great combo one of the best porter I ever tasted, real smooth with a hint of sweetness (not much just enough) Wish I could find some in the States.

I love spring beer and especially pale ale/porter but the porter beer at one point had a nice sweet taste but now it seems it has the same taste as the now black beer and not as much thick/heavyness and no punch !

Your description describes it perfectly! I am anxious for Fuller's London Porter to hit the stores again to make a comparison. Fuller's is wonderful but different. It will be interesting to find out in what way. Keep on brewing! This old lady loves it.
