But as always, I&#8217;m in the mood for dark beers no matter the weather, so it&#8217;s just a flimsy excuse to pull out a porter.  And what a porter it seems to be!  The Kernel&#8217;s Victorian, historic London porter, presented by Stigbergets no less.  It looks to be on the heavy side for a porter at almost 6%, but there&#8217;s a strange cheeriness to the can.  Even though those badgers remind me of Edward Gorey illustrations somehow.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/PB240696-scaled-e1764020294290-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1722\" style=\"width:312px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/PB240696-scaled-e1764020294290-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/PB240696-scaled-e1764020294290-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/PB240696-scaled-e1764020294290-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/PB240696-scaled-e1764020294290-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/PB240696-scaled-e1764020294290-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/PB240696-scaled-e1764020294290.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>A membrane of bubbles forms on the sides of the glass, but also a respectable head.  It does descend, but only slowly, gradually getting more and more Swiss cheese holes in it.  This is a brown porter rather than a black stout, but it&#8217;s a tarry and precious stone kind of brown.  There&#8217;s a mild smokey roast aroma, but no smoke alarms.  It has a heavy and earthy taste, but the beer still manages to be very drinkable.  There&#8217;s a little plumminess raising the flavor off the ground, but it doesn&#8217;t quite get to sweet, exactly.  It has the feel of a spectator&#8217;s drink, one you have while watching a game show.  Especially trivia, when you always know the answers without the pressure of being on the stage.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/PB240697-scaled-e1764020343578-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1721\" style=\"width:334px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/PB240697-scaled-e1764020343578-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/PB240697-scaled-e1764020343578-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/PB240697-scaled-e1764020343578-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/PB240697-scaled-e1764020343578-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/PB240697-scaled-e1764020343578-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/PB240697-scaled-e1764020343578.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Supplier: Be Hoppy<br>Price: \u20ac5.50<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Darker and darker are the days, finally raining a little bit.
