Bottle from Cedarbarn Farm Shop, near Pickering, to take me to 20 East Yorkshire rates (only 3 counties left below my 20 target now). Dark brown to black with a craggy light brown head. Cocoa dominates, with quite a heavy roast giving a moderately bitter finish. There's a hint of orange essence in there, but I'm definitely not getting marmalade. Texture seemed a tad powdery. It's ok, but a little disappointing - certainly well away from this brewery's best.

Bottle. Black with a decent but short-lived beige head. Aroma of roasted malts, dark chocolate and espresso. Taste of dark chocolate, roasted malts, red berries, caramel, espresso, ash and mild citrus fruits. Slightly tangy. Moderate bitterness. Low carbonation. Nice.

500ml bottle from Morrisons, online. Dark brown/near black with a small beige head with little retention. Aroma of roasted malts, coffee, somewhat nutty, hints of bittersweet citrus. Taste is malty with a moderate bitterness running throughout, roast and dark chocolate notes, there is a nice fruity tang in the finish although not sure I would describe it as marmalade. Medium bodied, light chewiness, nicely carbonated. Slightly rich but the fruitiness offsets this. Its a good porter.

Nose is muted treacle and malt. Taste is smokey savoury, ash, pronounced marmalade in the finish, pithy, treacle. Grapefruit.

On tap. Pitch black body with a dense light brown head. Aroma of caramel, dark fruits, coffee, roasted malts and maybe a hint of cream. The taste is less roasty than the aroma, and shows more from the fruits. It also shows a hint of floral hops. Smooth, light medium bodied fruity porter. I like it.

Bottle at home. Pours a dark brown colour with a small beige head. Aroma of dark chocolate, coffee and roasted malt. Flavour of roasted malt, ash, coffee, heather and some dried fruit. Has a slick mouth feel, light to medium body, and a medium level bitternes. Roasted and decent. A little careful aroma though.
