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.

Rating from 2008: Der Schaum ist schön rötlich-braun, der Geruch voll und süß mit Rotweinanklängen. Der Antrunk ist cremig-süßlich-vollmundig. Der Hauptteil wird malzig-interessant: Röstmalz und eine interessante, schwer zu beschreibende Note - aber irgendwie kein Portwein. Leicht ins süßlich-dunkel gehende. Schwer. Der Nachgeschmack ist langanhaltend - hefig-mild und röstmalzig-intensiv.
Gut abgewogenes Herbe-Süße-Verhältnis. Interessantes, aber auch sehr leckeres Bier! --> 13+10+13+13 = 12,40

A sweet stout, with more the former rather than the latter, but it is very black as you would expect. No head with a sweet aroma.

Cask at the William Webb Ellis (JDW), Twickenham, 16/02/13. First beer of the day we finally beat the crowd stealers (Tigerscum) at the Stoop for the first time in 10 years - happy days ... I digress. Very dark mahogony brown with a frothy tan head that retains well. Nose carries roast malt, barley, sugars, molasses, subtle berry fruit. Taste comprises dark toffee, dark malt, wood, nutty tones, berry fruits. Medium in body with soft carbonation, dry in the finish. Ok stout - nowt too special!
