Bottle shared in London - bought somewhere. Pours rich brown with a dense, frothy beige head. Dry milk chocolate in the nose, some dried fruits, light ash. Medium sweet flavour with rounded cocoa character, a little scorched earth, bittersweet cocoa. Medium bodied with fine carbonation and velvety texture. Alright balance in the finish, fairly dry and ashy, more bittersweet cocoa. Nice beer.

Shared bottle at Mi2 at Cardinal 16.01.17. Dark copper. Brown head. Aroma of dark malt, dark caramel and a hint of smoke. Excellently balanced taste, with dark malt, smoke and tar being balanced by hop bitterness and pine. A hint of liquorice. Fine aftertaste.

500ml bottle @ Chez Sophie, Shrewsbury. Pours extremely dark brown, thin tan head. Aroma is charred smoked malts, dark berries. Taste is complex with wondrous smoked malts, slick chocolate, berries, more woody smoke. Just a lovely Nordic porter.

Bottle from Bottle Baron. Black body with a thin beige head. Faint lacing. Aroma of smoke, coffee and plum. Flavour of berries, charred wood, brown bread, cigar and black pepper spice. Thin to medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Soft fizz. An unusual Porter - dry and smokey.

Smoky plum and tobacco. Mahogany, thin tan head. Plum skins, coffee. Smoky overtones. Charred oak finish. Velvety, medium body, astringent, easy carbonation. A bit too fruity for the style, good intensity and complexity for a 6.5 ABV beer.

Bottle @ home. Opaque dark brown to black color with a medium sized dark brown head that diminishes fairly quickly. Aroma is malts, roasted malts, raisins, caramel, some chocolate. Taste malts, again roasted malts, caramel, nuts, raisins, a light hint of milk chocolate, malt bitter, earthy, lightly ash, slightly smoke, nice moderate to medium bitter finish. Medium body and suitable carbonation. Very nice porter!

Bottle. Tall Boys, Leeds. Opened with a big pfft. Clear, very dark, chestnut brown. Huge, bubbly, lasting, tan head. Nose has fruity, vinous, caramel sweet malts. A hint of earthy, unwashed coffee bean. Hint of treacle. Hint of savoury smoke. Taste is sweet, fruity, smoky, and light, roast bitter. Palate is fairly full, but is let down by being way too fizzy. Any richness you might expect is spoiled by the fact it’s frothing all over the shop. Long, fruity, bitter finish. Overall, it’s ok.
