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

Bottle, Hotel du Vin, Newcastle Upon Tyne. Deep dark brown with next to no head. Choccy malt, coffee aroma and flavour with a hint of woodiness. Smooth and easy drinking with some depth to it despite the weakish abv. Would like to try cask effort.

Cask, hand-pulled at The Bar Nouveau, GBBF 08.. Unclear, mahogany body without a head. Blend of dark malts to the nose. Comprehensive taste of roasted coffee beans, chocolate and a touch of oak. Rather thin palate, though (07.08.2008)
