Meantime Brewing's Greenwich-based porter merges traditional dark malts with added caramel and sea salt, softening the style's natural bitterness with sweet and savoury notes. At 5.6% ABV, it drinks lighter than many porters, making it more approachable than its darker cousins. Dark amber in colour with a light, beige head, the nose reveals sweet and tangy character. Chocolate and caramel dominate the palate, with salt providing subtle counterpoint to the sweetness. The body is notably thin rather than full—a quality that divides opinion, offering either a refreshing alternative to heavier porters or a departure from the style's traditional weight.
