This was ok, certainly a bit different, you can def taste the ginger which to be honest doesn’t work for me but thats just personal taste i suppose so suggest you try it and see for yourself but its not one I will be buying again.

It was fine a bit thin, didn’t taste much chocolate, or any Ginger. perhaps it was me, I’m not an OZ Clarke wine taster type, who spits out a mouthful and tells you a load of tastes apart from a wine flavour

Williams Midnight Sun is 500 ML and 5.5 % ABV is a Porter. Nothing special but it has a pleasant taste. it Leaves a nice aftertaste. One I would buy again if I find it.

Very feint lemon on the nose. A hint of tea there too. Tobacco comes through when sipped. A slight treacle kick too. The finish is citrus with a biscuity punch. Very complex beer buzzing with so many different flavours. Really nice!
David Goater –
This is another of those beers that has a coffee flavour, due to the roasted malt. Fortunately it has a bit more about it with ginger and chocolate edges that calm the coffee to make a smooth drinking porter. For me less coffee and more of the other flavours could make this spectacular. I hope the brewers listen.
Robin Flower –
A very pleasant porter. A balanced chocolate/coffee/ginger aroma. The chocolate edges the ginger and coffee in taste. There is something else here and it is hard to pin down. Look at the other reviews and there are lots of suggestions of what it could be. I’ll throw rosewater into the mix.
David Gouldson –
Pours black with a tan head. Spicy aromas and flavours of coffee, chocolate and ginger. Spicy aftertaste. Nice Porter.

Alan Sinclair –
A pleasant porter and one I would buy again.
Quite strong chocolate taste.
Saul Abbott –
I wasn’t enamoured with this at all. It was too fizzy for me, very thin in the mouth and because of the fizz i was struggling to get any chocolate notes at all. The relatively low alcohol content didn’t help with the thin mouthfeel; maybe a stronger beer would have been slightly heavier and thicker. I won’t but it again
John Jones –
Always a favourite, chocolate, coffee and ginger make up this pleasing porter. Didn’t find it particularly carbonated, just a satisfying quaff on a cold night. Would certainly buy again.
CB –
Nice, a bit different. Spicy, dark, roasty, a bit of coffee flavour, really nice porter
Bob H. –
Very good value beer. Dark in appearence, smooth drinking with a predominant malt and liquorice taste. Could perhaps benefit from a higher abv.
Matthew W –
Pours black with nice creamy beige head. Aroma of dry dark malts, liquorice, caramel, sweet scented herbs. Taste is very much roasted dry malts, coffee, caramel, some sweetness in the middle with a tangy berry, and a hoppy herbal moderate bitter, roasty and ginger finish. Near medium bodied, slick but dry, fine carbonation.
