(Cask at Lyric, Soho, London, 22 May 2023) Dark brown colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of chocolate, coffee and dark bread. Malty, roasted taste with chocolate, milky coffee, liquorice, black bread and a mild cacao bitterness. Medium body, with a slight sweetness. Tasty and well balanced porter. Nice one.
