Level 42 Tasting. Thanks to Scopey. Hazy dark amber - brown beer, good pale tan head. Airy palate, semi dry. Decent fine carbonation. The dark malts are fluffy but bring a mild roast bitterness. Low level but strong tang. Tangy fruits, ripe fruits, bruised fruits. Touches of marmite and molasses. Light semi dry finish. Rich and tasty. Always good to step back in time and get a feeling for the beers of yore.

Bottle shared in London - many thanks to Paul. Pours deep brown with a frothy beige head. Rich bready malts in huge nose, some faint berry tang, hints of cocoa. Medium sweet flavor with strong earthy bitterness, some burnt grass, light cocoa, dried berries. Medium to full bodied, oily and chewy, with fine carbonation. Bitter finish, some baking cocoa, more earth, light ash. Novel stuff.

Bottle shared at level 42. It pours darkest brown with a thick tan head. The nose is earthy, musty, earthy roast, charred wood, chewy, fruit cake, umami, marmite and cocoa. The taste is rich roasted malt, earthy, umami, chewy action, toast, alcohol warmth, charred wood, liquorice, Eccles cake and a hint of dark fruits with a dry, roasted finish. Medium - full body and moderate carbonation. Good depth and well-rounded. Good fun.

Bottle split at the level 42 tasting, big thanks to Fergus, 16/02/16. Extremely dark mahogany brown with a decent beige cap that dissipates to edgeing. Nose is chocolate, bitter orange, light roast, caramel. Taste comprises cocoa powder, caramel biscuit, light roast, treacle, fruited tickle. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close, light mineral and hop in the close. Decent well balanced porter.

Bottle from The Beerhive. Dark brown body with a thick beige head. Faint lacing. Aroma of prunes, filter coffee and chocolate covered raisins. Flavour of raisins, sweet malts and dried red fruits. Medium body with a powdery mouthfeel. Soft fizz. Sweet and flavoursome.

500ml bottle from alesela. Not going to change comments much from the below. Carbonation much higher though, made it a little thinner. Cask at the hanging bat. As Aged porter, but abv a close match. Pours dark brown with a thin tan head. Aromas of dark chocolate, redcurrants, roast. Taste is tarry, more chocolate and fruit. Heavy roast. Long finish.
