From bottle. Pours black. Nothing exciting on nose. This all seems a little off. The malt have a burnt astrigency and bittering of the hops seems to actually accentuate this aftertaste. I’m hoping I just got a bad bottle.

Pours black, large off-white head.Nose shows soft mango and lychee, roasted malt, bready notes and soft cocoa.Flavours include more roasted and toasty malt, a fair bit more of the fruity hops and an assertive btiterness.

Bottle. Black with a light tan head 3+ Aroma of oranges, licorice, molasses, blackberries, some minor tropical notes. Nice, perhaps leans a little too much towards fruit for a porter for me. More dark sugars and licorice than roasted, toasty flavours, although there’s some coffee. Some berries but citrus and tropical fruit get a bit lost. Quite bitter at the end with a bit of a red licorice aftertaste. Didn’t really grab me.
