From a 330ml bottle on 17/7/2015. Pours not far off black with a small to medium tan head. Has quite a strong chocolate aroma. Sweet chocolate dominates the flavour too, but there’s also a good dash of coffee, and some vanilla, against a light roasty background. It displays a decent bitter kick, which sets off the sweetness nicely. Medium to full body with average carbonation. This is a very tasty, well made porter. Tried two from this brewer so far and they’re both winners.

Bottle, thanks to MrKennedy. Black with a lasting beige head that laces well. Lightly roasted aroma with mocha, hazelnuts, light floral notes. Silky texture. Sweet mocha, slightly more roasted flavours than suggested by the aroma, bitterness kept creeping up at the end. The sweetness is a little suffocating of the other things going on, but a pretty fair drop.
