A rich, chocolatey porter brewed with oak chips for a barrel aged flavour. A smooth and satisfying dark ale.

Bottle from Cornelius. Dark brown body with a thin off-white head. Light lacing. Aroma of smoke, rust and nuts. Flavour of metal, forest fruits, coffee and chocolate. Thin body with a watery texture. Average fizz. An interesting blend of a Bitter and a Porter.
