Remarkably easy to drink for its strength, this porter is low in bitterness and feels like silk on the throat! A vastly complex palette with a huge amount of flavours that hit you one after the other - this is one to savour!

Bottle from the brewer's own stall at the Dartmouth Food Festival. Dark brown with a small beige head. Liquorice, chocolate, a little blackcurrant and some toasty malts. Dryish. An ok porter, but a little forgettable perhaps.
