Old rating from Oct 2014 - From the cask, pours dark brown with tiny off white head. Aromas & tastes of vanilla, candy, fudge, chocolate, toast & malts. Moderate body. Slightly bitter finish. Enjoyable

Very nice soft sweet aroma of roasted malts, brown sugar and vanilla. Incredibly soft mouthfeel, light carb. Satisfying sweet roasted malt finish with a lovely vanilla sweetness. Nice stuff.

Bottle from Lidl. Pours near black, small beige head, quickly fading head. Metalic aroma with chocolate and vanilla. Taste of light roast, sweet vanilla, some chocolate, some grass and bitterness in the finish. Light bodied. Sessionable but not the best porter.

Dark brown colour with no head. Too gassy, lacking in body. The flavours are good though. Malty with vanilla sweetness.

Bottle online from The Natural Grocery Store. Pours black but with a very slight reddish hue and a medium sized creamy beige head. Aromas of strong vanilla, milk chocolate and sugar. Taste is more vanilla, milk chocolate and sugar with a touch of roasted malts. Thin to medium body and average carbonation. Not great would not buy again.

500ml bottle from Asda. Poured a hazy dark brown colour with a fizzy, short-lived, off white head. The aroma is vanilla, light roasty malt, plummy. The flavour is moderate sweet, with a light, slightly watery, sweet fizzy vanilla, red berry fruit palate. Medium bodied with lively carbonation. Too many bubbles for a porter and rather sweet.

De color marrón muy oscuro con destellos cobrizos. Espuma abundante y de buena retención.
Aroma agradable, con notas tostadas de la malta principalmente.
En boca tiene buen cuerpo y se deja beber muy bien, carbonatación media-suave. Sabores que van del tostado, hacia el dulce con un marcado sabor a vainilla final. Amargor muy sutil.
Buena porter para el precio que ofrece.
