[33cl bottle from the Fresh Choice supermarket, Takaka, NZ.] A deep cola brown coloured pour with a rapidly subsiding beige coloured head; aroma of tar, leather, raisins and alcohol; similar taste profile, with tar and leather to start, then a rich sweet charred malt body with raisins and licorice; and a boozy alcoholic kick to finish leaving a pleasantly lapping warmth in the belly. An excellent porter, tasting much stronger than it actually is.

Near black, rich chocolate and fruit...yum...sweet, full, delicious. Whatever style you want to call it, it's a quality black ale.
