Dark, chestnut beer whose bitter chocolate and roast malt taste from the large dose of roast barley added is softened by the addition of rich Ruby Port, combining the hoppy pepperiness from Phoenix and Bobek with vinous alcoholic fruitiness.

Very dark brown color. Chocolate and coffee in the aroma. Can’t taste much port, but I can taste coffee, caramel, chocolate and grapes. Firm bodied for an English beer. Well done!

Bottle from The Shops At Dartington. Appearance - deep brown with off white head. Nose - toffee and chocolate. Taste - chocolate and caramel. Light biscuit. Palate - creamy and medium bodied. The finish could be fresher. Overall - a fairly simple stout but decent enough.

Cask at Beer Cellar Exeter pours a nearly opaque black with some soapy, creamy, lacing white head. Nose is cool, black tea, toast, some mild smoke, lightly meaty. Flavor is tannic with black tea and acetic coffee, bread and pumpernickel, mild sausage/bacon, black licorice. Finishes dry and just lightly watery. Honestly, the complexity of an imperial stout with the character of a pub ale.

Cask at the crosse keys, city. Dark black / brown coloured pour with a lasting dirty greyish tam head. Aroma is dark choc, mineral flint, dry powdered choc and dirt. Flavour is composed of semi sweet chocolate malts, medium bitter roast and mineral, burnt toast. Palate is semi sweet, rounded, slightly thin, lowish cask condition. Harsh bitter roast lingering with some dark fruits.

Black beer, brown head. A bit of coffee in the smell, which is pretty dry. Flavour’s dry too... a splash of coffee, earthy malt, bitter chocolate and a healthy hit of the port too. Very drinkable.
