Note - this beer was replaced by a new recipe in late 2025 and re-classed as a stout by the brewery.
Our longest standing recipe is brewed with an emphasis on chocolate malts; this unclassifiable beer straddles milds to porters, tasting of coffee, cocoa and liquorice with a quenching bitter finish.

(Cask at Marble Arch, Manchester, 22 July 2009) Black colour with creamy, pale brown head. Roasted, malty nose with lots of chocolate, black coffee and a touch of liquorice. Roasted, malty taste with dark chocolate, black coffee and a hint of liquorice. Generous coffee/cocoa bitterness in the finish. More than medium body, fairly sweet. Very nice porter with an excellent chocolate twist.

Bottle, Barleycorns, Nantwich. Poured a dense black colour with a thin muddy film of head which gradually dissipated. Dark chocolate and cocoa aroma with some malt too. Flavour is something similar but the chocolate didn’t quite shine through enough; drifts into a slightly bitter finish.Teeters on the edge of being really good, but is lacking the x-factor somehow.

[i] [b] Cask, gravity Merton Summer Beer Festival, Thursday July 6th 2006 before the festival started restrospectively added from notes [/i] [/b] Pours black in colour with small bubbly head that siftyly departs. Nice rich indulgent bitter cocoa powder on the nose along with a touch of yeast. Taste is fruity but chocolate swishes through again, surprisingly this has a nice flurry of bitterness to finish off proceedings.

Bottle at home ... Deep black ... think loose foam head ... little chocolate some nice roast malts but there something undefinibale that hits you first its not quite over carbonated but the palate just dont seem right on initial hit ... some sweetness little yeastyness and quite a milky chocolate. Neverthe less quite decent.
