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) Dark ruby coloured hue with a thick beige foamy head. Sweet and moderately roasted malty aroma with notes of berries, chocolate and vanilla. Sweet and slightly burnt bitter flavour, medium to light bodied with a soft mouthfeel. Moderately roasted malty taste with a tinge of caramel and chocolate; sweet and burnt bitter finish with a subtle acidic note, which I cannot explain as “vinous” (11.VIII.09).

[i] Cask conditioned at Oxford Beer Festival 12-10-07 [/i] I’d drank about two thirds of this beer before I really started to enjoy it, the Brewdog Riptide which I’d just had beforhand lefts its intense flavour in my mouth for ages, I only really got to grips with this towards the end. Poured dark brown, fruity with nice bitterness, subtle liquorice flavours.

Cask handpull at Chambers Folkestone. Ok so I had 10 minutes before my train so I could only have a very fast half, but this was good. Deep ruby colour with thin beige head. Really pretty fruity with some coffee and bit of choc. Hoppy drying finish. Exceptional dark fruit nose. Vinous in mouth with good warming alcohol. My friend Martin went back the following day and confirmed that it was indeed a cracking porter.
