Bottle. Nose is unctuous , chocolate, soy, leather, hint of treacle, smoke, hint of spice. Incredibly inviting.

Taste is rich smoke, umami, meats, soy, salty leading to a rich leathery woody note, then emerging from it is a sweet fruity note in the finish. The sweetness gives cherry, a hint of almond, and pear drops. It's beautifully balanced.

Sticky full Mouthfeel.

An unexpectedly brilliant beer.

330 ml bottle. Pours a dark brown with moderate foamy head. Aromas of smoke, cherrywood, red berries and roasted malts. Flavors follow same with nice light body that enhances the fruit. Easy to drink. Very good.

It's not a bad porter but the only thing you taste is smoke. Not really into that.
