Details

A dark mahogany winter-warmer, the Telford Porter is Conwy Brewery's winter seasonal. This Victorian-style porter is medium-bodied with a malty sweetness as well as caramel, chocolate, dried fruits, and liquorice notes. A semi-dry finish with hints of a lactose-like sourness keep this beer from being over-the-top sweet and is, instead, quite drinkable.

Based in the town of the same name, Conwy Brewery makes a great range of beers. Whether it is their seasonal series or their core range of Conwy Ales, each bottle is full of hops, famed British malts, and great Snowdonia water.

Drinkable, But Lacking Flavour

40%

Review by JK 08/06/2018

Have had two bottles of this over a few years, so the lack of real flavour is unlikely the result of a bad batch!

You'd need to reach deep to pull anything out of this other than a generic, mild, watered down porter that's retained slightly more body than you might expect.

It's not at all unpleasant - you'll have no trouble downing a bottle of this stuff - but you probably won't be itching to do it again.

Delightful!

Slightly surprised by the lowish rating for this one. Granted, it doesn't pack as much punch as some porters, but still maintains the required level of richness. Pours well and nuances of caramel and roasted chocolate come through once allowed to settle.

Slightly smokey with a caramel aftertaste but it's a bit thin overall.

Dark with a big frothy head. Sweet and spicy and delightfully fruity.

Review by Llamaman 22/04/2016

A tasty porter - smooth (mouthfeel was rather like milk), slightly sweet and rich. Was surprisingly flat for a bottle-conditioned beer - I got virtually no head on this at all. A little bit more vigour might have been nice.
The kind of beer you'd hoover up if it was on tap in your local, but struggles up against the big hitters available in bottle.

not very impressed

I love a good Porter but unfortunaly I didn't think much of this one. It just seemed flat and a tad lackluster

Review by Abdyman 30/04/2015

An okay porter but nothing memorable. Seems a bit thin and overly fizzy which you don't expect from a porter.
Nothing really bad about it but nothing really good either.

Nice, surprisingly so for someone who generally doesn't like porters (or thought I didn't!). Quite smooth, enjoyable

Pleasant beer that was thick and dark as porter should be. Good strength but very strong and lingering aftertaste .

Underwhelming porter

Review by Ity 30/03/2015

This isn't a bad beer, per se, but doesn't leave anything memorable on the palate. It's good, I guess, but certainly not great.

good example of the type

Review by bammers1954 05/01/2015

I enjoyed this beer without it leaving much of an impression on my memory. Well made and very good value for money, it's a bit better than 'run of the mill' and well worth a try

Nice Porter
