Umbel Magna from Nethergate Brewery Co. Ltd.
Rating: B+
Sampled at the Cambridge Beer Festival 2008.
Appearance: quite dark, opaque cola color
Smell: dark malts, slight savory note, coffee, molasses
Taste: subtle coriander, good porter, and particularly so for a historical beer (based on a 1750s recipe, according to the brewery's tasting notes). sweetish finish
Mouthfeel: medium body, good level of carbonation
Drinkability: Paired with a curry purchased at the festival, figuring the coriander would match nicely. Went down well.
Serving type: cask
