Draft at Churchkey, courtesy of staff, thanks! Light maroon color, large bubble head. Aroma of medicinal chocolate and burnt rubber. Taste is boozy coffee. Weird.

Bottle. Pours black. Tan head. Nose is cocoa, chocolate and roasted black malt. Taste is mostly burnt black malt, cheap burnt coffee and burnt chocolate malt. Dry burnt black malt finish. Chalky mouth feel. Lightish body.

50cl bottle. Pours opaque black with a red hue. Has a nice creamy beige head - most fades in a few minutes, but a thin attractive layer of lace hangs around. The nose has a lovely Crunchie Bar note - toffee, chocolate and and fizzy. The taste has chocolate, smokiness and bitter coffee. The palate is medium bodied with a medium creamy and effervescent texture and quite a bitter finish. Overall, appealing on the nose and front of palate but I was hoping for the type of Porter that faded away gently at the end, rather than the astringent finish it has.

Bottle from Mr Lawrence Wine Merchants, Brockley. Black pour with a light beige head. Coffee, chocolate malt, dark chocolate, vanilla and fresh cream aromas. Unlike Pinocchio it’s got a very nice nose. Chocolate, vanilla, some coffee and a little licorice flavour. Dry, licorice fuelled light bitter finish.

Weicher Röstantrunk, der angesichts des voluminösen Geruchs fast schwach erscheint. Wenig schokoladig, eine hintergründige Bitterkeit kommt nach und nach hervor. Zum Ende wenig aromatisch, noch wenig röstig und füllend, aber nicht intensiv, hopfig. Nett! Danke an den Doppelbock für das Bier. 12/9/9/9/8/9

Bottle. Clear dark brown with a coat of beige head but good lacing. Rather modest aroma of chocolate, dark berries, light roast. Thinnish but alive texture. Taste has chocolate, lots of berries, roasted bitterness, coffee, licorice. Tasty, balanced. A good one from the Mild end of Porter.

A deep dark brown porter with reddish hues and a thin light moka head. Sweet vanilla chocolate and solvents in aroma. In mouth, a nice classy porter with bitter chocolate, but some solvents notes in finale. Cask at Get Real NY, March 19th 2011.
