Cask at the Hanging Bat. Pours black, aroma and taste is deliciously fruity and chocolatey.

Cask @ Hanging Bat [230113]. Dark ruby red, thin white head, good colour, some lacing. Aroma of soft roast, hint of burnt crust, soft berry fruits, toasted white bread. Taste of fruity sweet malts, soft berries. some toasted white bread again, interesting flavour. Palate is slightly thin, but its quite oily and smooth, sweet fruits witha dab of bitter roast. Finish is a little dry with a slightly faint metallic bitter note in the linger. Overall - this was a very fruity and tasty porter

Aroma: Rich chocolate with a subtle blackcurrant aroma.

Appearance: Very dark ruby body with a thick white head.

Taste: Extremely malty - one of the maltiest beers I’ve tried, in fact. Milk chocolate, smoke and fruity blackcurrants. Low bitterness.

Palate: Medium body with a slick, oily texture. Flat carbonation.

Overall: Smooth and luscious. Very malty and the addition of blackcurrants is rather nice.
