Yep it's a porter. Toffee and coffee, roasted sweet malts, and ashes to finish. A solid porter, not wow-worthy.

Can. Pours near black with a yellow brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has dark grains, light roast and rich chocolate with a hint of grass underlying. Flavor combines bread and chocolate with some slightly earthy dark grains backing.

Taki chlalny, acz na slodko porterek z mocna kawa dosc sympatyczna, ciemnoowocowa. Do jet black heart brakuje, ale wcale nie tak duzo ;)

Bottle, kindly shared by friends at the ratebeer table on the first day of the Manchester Beer & Cider Festival. Black in the festival glass, stable beige head, dotted spots on the glass. Promising smell of mid-sweet chocolate malts. Fine blended taste profile of dried fruits, liquorice, and chocolate, molasses backbone. Smoothly roasted tail. Likable. (Preview session for CAMRA & SPBW members, 22.01.2020).

Keg at the 2020 Manchester Beer Festival. Brown pour with a beige head. Raisin and chocolate caramel aroma. Chocolate raisin and caramel flavour. Good stuff.
