TOP TIPPLE: Sainsbury’s Taste The Difference London Porter (500ml, £1.69)

Sainsbury's Taste The Difference London Porter

By Martin Smith
Published on Wednesday 22 February 2012 07:57

Sainsbury’s TTD beers – IPA, Kentish Ale and London Porter – are made by real ale brewer Shepherd Neame of Kent.

Their London Porter is 5%, a rich, dark beer packed with hints of chocolate and spice. It’s bitter, as you would expect, but not objectionably so (as so many real ales seem to be now).

A medium-bodied beer with a creamy head and an aroma of coffee and malt.

Good beer. Use wisely.
