Our truly traditional, dark, smooth, rich, malty-sweet, smouldering, smoked Baltic Porter. This is a delicious, dark beer with a tan head, with a well balanced hop, caramel and liquorice malt flavour.

Bottle from Secretts, Milford. Aroma is of course smokey, tar, with a liquorice and vegetable streak. Dark and glossy. Thin foamy light beige head. Medium-heavy bitter. Warming tar. Liquorice. But it's primarily acrid. Underlying vaguest hints of creamy sweetness. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Oily. But thin. Fizzy carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Not great. Just fails to get the balance right and... yeah... it's just acrid.

Cask at the Claude du Vall (JDW), Camberley. Pitch black with a loose beige head; coffee aroma; sweet earthy aroma with some peat smoke, then dry with a woody bitterness and some burnt carmael; there’s warming alcohol before a lingering bitter chocolate finish. Very good indeed.
