From a 330ml bottle on 18/1/2011. Pours mahogany with virtually no head. Has a mild aroma of caramel, coffee, roasted malt and a touch of fruit. Flavour wise, there’s lots of dark chocolate, with a good dash of bitterness. A good, solid porter which tastes bigger than 4.5%.

Pours black with a large lasting tan head.Nose shows lots of chocolate, roasted malt and espresso. Quite sweet.Flavours include lots more roasted malt and a little dark chocolate. Again, quite sweet, with only a faint roasty bitterness on the finish.Carbonation is very high (Murray’s seem to do this a lot) .

Bottle - most appropriate beer I have that I could come at on a warm night for rating 666. Pretty much black with a thick beige head that never quite disappears. Aroma of toast, cola, a little prunes and some charred notes. Taste has moderate amounts of quite dark roasted malt, cocoa, vanilla. Dry grassy finish has a little citrus and roast too. A little overcarbonated to my tastes, but the slight astringency is fine. Gently mouthfilling with subtle depth - I liked this one a lot more than their extra porter. [3.6]I had another one much like that last night, then tonight from the same four-pack, one with a crackling four inch head that wouldn’t go away. Left with a still overcarbonated beer with some unhappy sourness and no charm. Done with bottled Murray’s awhile. [edit] Left rating the same.Growler. Small beige head. Coffee, moderate roast, dried fruit. Tasty enough, particularly for 4.5%. Lovely balance, dryish finish.
