JYMI SAY’S…

As far as I’m aware, though I cannot confirm as was not present on brew day over in Finchampstead, no marshmallows were harmed in the making of Marshmallow Mountain.

Though from the mouthfeel for this particular porter you would think that there had been a marshmallow massacre over in the small Berkshire town on brew day.

Honestly, the pillowy smooth texture of this beer is just insanely good! And a lovely lovely lovely carrier of the slight chocolate with a good vanilla accompaniment makes for a very good beer indeed!

MMM is a soft warming delight and one I’ll 100% grab again once available.

SAMMY SAY’S…

If you were to dream of a marshmallow porter, then it’s likely Marshmallow Mountain would be the ideal scenario.  It delivers a cozy, dessert-like experience that’s as comforting as it is indulgent. From the moment you lay eyes on the can to the last sip, it’s a fluffy, marshmallow-filled delight.

From the first whiff, you know you’re in for something special. It smells like a toasty cup of hot chocolate topped with melty marshmallows, underscored by the deep, roasty notes of a classic porter. The aroma alone is a hug in a glass.

Marshmallow Mountain is exactly what it promises in the drinking: marshmallow goodness in liquid form. The flavour is well-balanced, with fluffy marshmallow sweetness melding perfectly with the chocolate and biscuit notes of the porter. It’s rich without being cloying and indulgent without feeling heavy. Every sip is like a dessert experience that doesn’t overwhelm.

Let’s not beat around the bush: the mouthfeel is absolutely sublime. The cloud like, light mouthfeel paired with the perfectly balanced flavour profile makes this an incredibly drinkable porter. Whether sipping by the fire or sharing with friends, this beer shines in every scenario.

Marshmallow Mountain is a standout porter that delivers on all fronts. It’s comforting, creative, and downright delicious. This one’s a banger—perfect for those who love dessert-inspired beers or just want a porter with a twist.
