A blend of a mature and young ale creates a porter of traditional character that’s dark cherry in colour and complex in taste. Aromas of liquorice, rum, raisin and chocolate with hints of coffee are in abundance in this full-bodied, warming ale.

Pours deep mahogany into a stem glass. Mocha head quickly subsides to skim rim and hug sides. Burnt chocolate and espresso aromas. Creamy with a medium body. Upfront sweet chocolate and a lasting bitter coffee finish.

500ml bottle bought at Jerusalem Tavern in London and shared with Finn and CatweazleTroms at our arrival in Norwich early on a Sunday afternoon.
Delicate bottle design as always. Small off-white foam over a deep mahogany body. Dark malty aroma. Flavour of coffeebeans, cocoa and malt. Medium palate and easy to drink (24.09.2006).

Decent porter. Dark brown. No dediment and I am guessing it is filtered. The bottle looks cool, but it is green so no extra points there. Aroma has roasted malt and smells like an oatmeal stout. Thin body. Flavor has the standard porter malt, but does it better than many, though perhaps not better than most. Some nuttiness as well.

Bottled. Very dark ruby red colour, not much head. Aroma is fruits (dark fruits), plum, a bit amoke and roast. Also coffee is there. Flavour is roasted malts and plum. Very smoked/roasted aftertaste. A good porter, though it is quite watery.

(Bottle at Haket in Gothenburg) Clear deep red towards dark brown color with a tan to beige head. Chocolate malt scent. Burnt but also fresh and sweet flavor, fresh sweet after taste, like an early morning in September. Spritzy mouth feel and medium bitterness.

Bottled. Very dark brown, looks clear. Dark chocolate and roasted malt in the aroma. The flavor har dark chocolate, roastiness and alcohol. A bit one-dimentional. Full body and a roasted finish. (060812)
