Keg at Six Degrees North. It pours dark brown with a tan head. The aroma is rich roasted malt, chocolate cake, orange marmalade, tangy citrus peel, sachet torte and dark chocolate. The taste is dry, bitter, rich roasted malt, charred wood, cacao, coffee, liquorice root, decent hoppiness, citrus peel, pine needles, touch green and spice with a dry, toasty finish. Lighter - medium body and moderate carbonation. Pretty flavoursome stuff for the Abv. Nice.

Keg at Cotteridge Wines, Cotteridge, Birmingham. Small sample as driving, Sunday 27th May 2018 This is a really nice porter's which I thought was stronger than the stated abv. Plenty of chocolate flavours flood through, smooth and very moreish with a nice maltiness. A little bit of rich cocoa powder, very nice. A7 A4 T7 P4 Ov14 3.6
