Manchester Star Ale: Review
The Beer
Manchester Star Ale
1 pint .9fl oz.
7.3% abv
J.W. Lees and Co. Greengate Brewery
Middleton, Manchester, England
Appearance: A dark almost black body with a tan head.
Aroma: Malty all the way – roasty
Taste: A very pleasing English Porter style. Roasted malts, a smoky tobacco like quality, roasted pecan notes, solid medium coffee notes.
Mouthfeel: A good thick creamy style that leaves a roasty, smoky, and lingering coffee aftertaste.
My Strength Rating: 6 – Because of its chewy-thick mouthfeel.
I have enjoyed a couple of these this year. This is a good choice for a beautiful fall day. It is a hearty porter that is full of flavor. Sit back and enjoy this one.
