(On tap) Black with no head. Aroma has dark toffee and pine. Light body with medium carbonation. Taste is rather thin with notes of dark toffee and some bitterness in finish. Not very interesting.

Draught from hand pump as part of a paddle, at Dove & Olive in Sydney on October 14, 2015.Clear very dark brown to black color, light brown head with lacing. Light acidic, a bit roasted, ash taste. Ash, acidic aftertaste. Medium to smooth mouthfeel, low bitterness. Light acidic, a bit roasted scent.

From a 330ml bottle on 15/10/2011. Pours brown/black with a massive head to begin. Has a mild aroma of chocolate and a bit of fruit. Tastes unusual. While there are typical chocolate and roasty notes, there’s a distinct fruitiness to it, with raspberry particularly prominent. It’s let down by the palate, with a thin texture and too much carbonation. A bit confused and not a particularly good porter.
