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.

Cask Jet-black beer with a B.C."H.". Slight-sweet, some typical porter-roasted notes, but especially a fry or a roast piece of meat... Ink-like, but sweet taste, with a slight moccha-like finish. Warming up, some fruity-estery noes. Medium bodied, quite slick. Must have been a very Scottish dash of Portwine.

A dark brown to black stout with a thick fluffy moka head. A rather strong Brett aroma, herbal with notes of chocolate, bitter and roasted. In mouth, a bitter chocolate appears clearly, a bit herbaceous, but no porto noted in this. Medium bodied. Bieropholie private imports, early 2006. BB 03-05-2007.

Bottle picked up at Morrisons, Bridport, Dorset, 17-11-06. This was a decent dark, rich and full flavoured stout had some bitterness but something missing, but ultimately quite enjoyable.

Black with browny white head. Aroma of hops, chocolate and especielly coffee. The texture is very soft, unfortunatly its very thin as well. Aftertaste is a bit bitter and very short! (Typical Brithish I feel like saying) Regular brew!

(Cask at Market Porter, Borough, London 20 Apr 2006) Colour is opaque black, with a creamy beige head. Nose is roasted, bitter-sweet with hints of ruby port. Taste is roasted, nutty, bitter-sweet, with more port, some cherries and a slightly hoppy finish. Complex, and very nice.

Small brown head quickly disappears. Barely translucent deep dark red body. Faint fruity licorice aroma with earthy alcohol notes. Dry-sweet earthy roasty taste with plastic notes. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Light body. Dryish roasty grassy earthy aftertaste with plastic notes. Unusual, but not great. (0.1l from bottle at DBF’11. Rated at 3.7 in 2006.)

Cask handpull at The Three Greyhounds, London Xmas Pub Crawl. Deep rich stout with lots of fruit. Rich, thick and gorgeous. Dry grainy finish. One of the best stouts I’ve had. Some very good sour notes and good dark fruits too. It just has everything you would want and mixes them together so well. Beer of the day for me.
