On cask at Coach and Horses - Nice looking black body with an off white head. Washed out nose, could pick out the chocolate well enough, bit nothing much else. Sweet watered down roasty taste, chocolate and a bit of sweetness.

Cask @ Bombay Brew, Rochdale. Near black and smoothish, although not too stated within its style, however it has a fine enough roasted malt character.

Huddersfield Oktoberfest 2015. Almost black with an easy-drinking texture for its strength. Very Christmas-like to begin with until I realised this tastes exactly the same as a Terry’s Chocolate Orange. There’s plenty of aroma to this effect too.

Cask at Hops, Crewe. Pours pretty much black with a sizeable tan head and good lacing. There is a strong aroma of chocolate but with subtle hints of orange. In the mouth the texture is smooth and creamy – almost velvet. The flavour is predominantly milk chocolate, with traces of roasted malts, raisins and cola. Finish is dry with dried fruit. Very enjoyable – the only downside being there was not enough actual stout character.

From wooden cask, third shared with Finn at Manchester Beer & Cider Festival, Wood Bar. Bubbles on the surface, diminishing off-white head, off-black in the glass. Chocolate malts on the nose. Flavoured with chocolate, vanilla sweetness to it. Moments of dark fruits towards the ending. Pretty good porter. (2nd day of the festival, 23.01.2020).
