Keg at The Hanging Bat. Pours black with a thin, short lived, beige head. Aromas of roasted malt, dark stone fruit, liquorice. Taste has more of the same, plus a nice chocolate sweetness. Creamy texture, and needed to warmed up a fair bit. Nice.

Keg at The Hanging Bat. Black body with a thin beige head. Nice lacing. Aroma of raisins, treacle, liquorice and a faint hint of Twiglet ash. Flavour has zingy red fruits up front, then brown sugar, followed by a dry, biscuity finish. Medium body with an oily mouthfeel. Average carbonation. A full flavoured beer - a lighter, drier version of the incredible 1841 XXXP Porter I tried earlier today.

Bottle from BeerHive, Edinburgh [180213]
Black, rich tan head, some lacing
Aroma of rich dark smooth malts with a dab of yeast
Taste of roasted malts, fruity dark malts, dab of yeast, touch of dark toffee, some chocolate, good flavour
Palate - Medium carb and body, creamy rich malts, Finish as main flavour, smooth rich dark chocolatey malts, bit of a dry roast finish, touch of a salty edge though that loses it some marks
Overall - Lot of flavour here - it’s a good porter
