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 @ Linen Hall, Enniskillen [260216]
Very dark brown, dense white head, light lacing
Aroma of soft roasted malt, some dark sweet fruits
Taste of roasted malts, touch of yeast, soft burnt notes, some dark fruit malts, sticky dark fruits, bit smoky, quite complex, but not a big fan of the flavour
Palate - Medium body, quite sticky, ligth sweet, more bitter. FInish a bit dry.
Overall - It’s well made, but I found it a bit hard going tbh

Pours a dark brown almost black colour with a plum purple tinge, a loose frothy beige head. Aroma is roasted malt, some hops and smokiness, a bit subdued. A bitter roasted malt, ashy taste, and long bitter finish.
