Bottle from the brewery. Poured a dark mahogany with a thin off white head. The aroma is weak roasted malt. The flavour is medium bitter with a hoppy slightly watery spicy malt palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. A great session beer but not a great beer.

Bottle at RBESG 2011 Grand Tasting at The Dean Swift, London. Brown pour with a small head. Decent roast character, some brown sugar. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Short roast finish. Straight-ahead porter and pretty solid all around.
