(Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm) Colour is dark brown with ruby hints, small off-white head. Nose is roasted with notes of berries (blackberries, cherries), chocolate, black coffee and notes of citrussy hops. Taste is roasted with chocolate, coffee, liquorice, blackcurrant and crowberries. Some citrussy hops in the finish. Fairly dry, medium body, actually leaning slightly towards the thin side. Very nice and tasty porter.

Bottle picked up in Herefordshire. Pours a dark brown with coffee and hint of dark chocolate in the aroma, has a roasted flavour and is quite dry but a little bit of sweetness. I have had this beer frequently, why I don’t know as I have never been particularly impressed

Cask Handpull at County Hotel, JDW, Ashford. Deep ruby colour with thin beige head. Good choc coffee with some black cherry fruit. Full and velvety in mouth. Excellent porter. Choc is a bit powdery but fruit balances and runs throughout

Big beige head of coarse lace on dark red almost opaque body. Sweet harmonic coffee aroma with licorice, pepper, and pine notes. Sweet, smoky, burnt taste; aftertaste is a strange combination of driness, bitterness, soot, and coffee. Strangely thin mouthfeel. The sooty bitterness doesn’t really do it for me, but definitely a quality brew.

(Bottle 50 cl) Very dark brown, close to black, with a vague underlying reddish tint. Creamy, beige head leaving a pretty lacework. Aroma of hard roasted malts with a lightly burned note. Rather light body, very malty, lightly burned flavours. Dry, but still soft and very accessible. 281105

Cask @ Bishop’s Arms Malmö. Black/ dark brown colour. Small tan head. Roasted malt and chocolate in the aroma. Taste is roasted malt, coffee and chocolate. It has more stout taste to me than porter taste. But i like it.

Very dark ruby, creamy small cappuchino head. Sweetish coffee nose. Roasted, a bit sweet, licorice in the flavor. Watery but interesting session porter.

Bottle Pours a dark brown with a massive thick light tan head that when it finally subsides leaves thick sticky lacing down the sides. Aromas are mostly chocolate, coffee, a little smoke and a bit of grape jelly. Flavor is very mild and soft. Carbonation is fine but quite strong and makes it taste like foam. Gets in the way a bit. Feel otherwise is a bit thin but pleasant. Finish is where the smokeyness comes through for me. A bit plain, but pretty good and at 4.5%, 500ml will do just fine.
