Dissident’s roasted malt flavour dominates. Some chocolate sweetness resides behind the earthy richness. There’s some spice and molasses from the pilgrim and it signs off with a dry bitterness.

Casi negra, muy abundante espuma cremosa duradera. Aroma muy tostado con alguna nota ácida. En boca muy malteada, con cuerpo a pesar del bajo alcohol, tostada, algo ahumada. Seca. Final moderadamente amargo. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

(Cask at Southampton Arms, Gospel Oak, London, 21 Apr 2015) Dark brown colour, almost black, with brief off-white head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of coffee, dark chocolate and dark fruit. Malty, roasted taste with chocolate, dark bread, a touch of coffee and a balanced roasted bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Tasty and well made porter. Nice one.

Bottle at home in London - picked up at We Brought Beer. Pours reddish-brown with a frothy tan head. The aroma has lightly roasted malts, some burnt leaves, dusty cocoa. Light-medium sweet flavor with hints of ash, more subdued roast, pleasant dry chocolate, balancing earthy bitterness, dried dark fruits. Light bodied with average to lively carbonation. Nicely balanced on the finish with prominent chocolate character, some burnt brown bread, more earthy bitterness, toasted grains, dried berries. Solid all-around porter. Lots of character packed considering the strength.
