Roast barley and chocolate and crystal malts combine to give the ale a deep deep ruby colour and sweet mocha and toast flavour. A little oats in the mash help to provide a smoothness and late Fuggles hops create a resinous balance. It ferments out fairly dry and the end result is a sturdy, powerful and smooth ale not to be rushed at.

Bottle at home, thanks to Jason & Tracey, most definitely an RB catch up 24/07/20. Rich mahogany brown with a decent khaki cap that retains well. Nose is chocolate digestive, nutty twang, mellow roast, brown sugar dusting. Taste comprises roast malts, dried fruits, toffee, light cocoa dusting, hint of tobacco, bitter sweet tones. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light dryness in the close. A decent serviceable porter.

Bottle conditioned. Pear, plastic, roast and a hint of licorice in the aroma. Medium to full bodied. Strong roast flavor with "gunpowder", roast, licorice and salmiac. Hint of salt. Tasty brew with some complexity.

Cask CBC, Clerkenwell on 2nd November 2017. Sepia with shallowtan part-lacing foam. Rich and intense roasted malt aroma. Rich roastiness in-mouth with spicy notes. A bittersweet roasty malt finish. Full bodied with a zingy yet solid mouthfeel.
