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.

Cask at the three johns. Aroma is nice nutty praline, sweet cocoa, coco powder. Ruby red / caramel brown coloured pour with a loose cream coloured head. Some light fruit and but chocolate on the noise as well. Flavour is hazelnut, choc, sweet caramel malts, praline, dried fruits with a little earhy notes. Palate is fairly light bodied with low cask condition and a semi sweet note. Lingering drying woodyness, coco powder and raisin. Decent.

Bottle from Ravensgate Arms, Ramsgate. Dark brown colour lasting tan head. Chocolate aroma. Rather a lovely easy drinking chocolate porter. Decent enough porter. Fine.

Cask at Beer Rebellion, GH. It pours dark brown with a medium beige head. The nose is rich, roasted malt, smoke, tar, chewy and mild treacle sweetness. The taste is bitter, rich roast, charred wood, smoke, burnt leaves, tar, earth, treacle and ash with a dry, roasty finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Interesting and pretty decent. Nice to see these guys head to the dark side.
