Can shared at LKS. It pours near black with a small beige head. The aroma is earthy, toasty, umami, liquorice, malt loaf, meaty action, treacle and cocoa. The taste is soft, sweet, bitter - sweet, oily, umami, liquorice, umami, malt extracts, mighty malt and meat with a soft, somewhat meaty finish. Medium body and average carbonation. Meaty...

Can from the brewery. I’m sorry chaps but this was a big dissapointment. The canned beers have been hit and miss in my opinion for Harveys, this was a miss. It doesn’t deliver as a stout and its not as velvety as a good porter should be. Its ok to drink but it is imbalanced, over carbonated and harsh in the finish.

Keg. A slightly watery stout with a short flavour of burnt malt coming through on the palate. It was eminently drinkable, but not really my thing.

0.1 l on tap at ’The Shakespeare’. Clear, very dark red to black with an off-white head. Sweetish, malty and slightly roasty aroma of caramel, dark chocolate and licorice. Sweetish, malty and slightly roasty taste of caramel, licorice, dark chocolate, some coffee and hints of dark fruits, followed by a short, moderately roasty-bitter, slightly dry finish. Medium body, slightly creamy and a bit effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Okay!

Keg at the Pelt Trader, Cannon Street. Dark brown pour with a beige head. Raisin, chocolate, cocoa, cola aroma. Flavours of roasted sweet spice, dark chocolate, licorice toffee. Rather enjoyed this one.
