Keg at the Tea Merchant, Canary Wharf, 05/02/18. Black pour with a well presented tan covering. Nose is cocoa powder, toffee, mellow roast, ashen notes, hint of coffee. Taste comprises chocolate, vanilla, toffee fudge, roast malt, light spice, hint of dried fruits. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Decent enough porter although I'd expect a little more depth for a 7% jobbie.

Keg at Stoneworks, Peterborough. Brownish black, opaque, big creamy off-white head. Vanilla extract, hazelnut and forest floor aroma. Sweet boozy taste with a feel of drinking vanilla extract from the bottle. Some bitter sourness in the finish with earthy hops. The lovely taste turns on me a bit in the aftertaste: too much sour booze. Really decent all in all though. Nice one from Fourpure.
