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.

Bottle: Very deep ruby-amber coloured, mid-sized, stable creamy tanned head, dry roasted malt, dark malt and a subtle fruitiness in the nose; solid dry bitter flavour, light to medium bodied; dry, light bitter, roastmalty and coffeeish finish. A goody, well balanced.......

This years winner of bottle-conditioned beers of Britain. 500ml bottle bought at Utobeer, London in Feb.07. Huge frothy, light brown head with lots of bubbles, good retention and great glass-lacing. Almost jet-black with a ruby tint. Inviting aroma of caramel malts. Blended flavours of slightly roasted grain, earth, dark malts and coffee offset by fruity hints. Rounded bitterness in the aftertaste. Medium bodied. A lovely stout (28.12.2007).

0.5L bottle. Murky dark brown colour. Some roasted malt aroma. Flavour is suprisingly quite dry with some coffee notes. Carbonation is a bit to strong. Finish is so dry that it drys your throat. I was desparetly trying to find what is the added value of the ruby port to this stout, but unfortunatly could not find anything . A huge dissapointement, just like England losing the rugby world cup.

Bottle. Black color with a medium, slowly-siminishing, light-brown head. Roasty nose with some vinous notes, and a bit of yeast. Flavor is quite sweet and malty, with some nice roastiness (and some roasty bitterness), some smoke, notes of coffee, a bit of hops, and a bit of sourness in the finish. Medium-bodied. A decent stout.

500ml bottle from Threshers. Almost black with a reddish tinge, and a light coffee head; chocolate malt aroma with perhaps a hint of port; full and chewy flavour, slightly tart, developing an intense coffee body, again with just a hint of port; leading to a burnt malt chocolate finish. Quite complex. (7/3/7/3/14=3.4 24Jul2007)
Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell. Mahogany in colour with a tawny gleam and loose beige head; chocolate malt aroma; full bodied with some sourish fruit at first, supported by deeply roasted malts; then a strong leafy bitterness leading to s dry finish with a touch of tobacco smoke. (7/4/7/4/12=3.4 6Mar2013). Good to see my rating is consistent!

Cask-conditioned at the Bag O’Nails, Bristol 14/6/07. Near black with a slight, tan head. Aroma was of dark chocolate, with prunes and roasted notes. Flavours of bitter chocolate with a touch of warming alcohol on the finish. Beats Guinness hands down.
