Legend has it that a giant named Bolster once terrorised St Agnes. When he was finally slain, his blood was jet black. Yikes!
This is a rich, dark porter with strong roast flavours, packed with spicy and fruity hops.

500ml bottle. Gluten Free. Dark brown colour, tan foam head leaving some lacing and aroma of malt, dark fruits, earthy. Taste is sweet, roasty, rich malt, tangy, with dried fruit, liquorice, and earthy bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry bitter finish. Quite drinkable.

Third by cask, shared with Finn on the third day of GBBF 2020 Winter, Iron Bridge Bar. A rustic shade to dark coloured body. Filmy layer, dotted spots on the glass. Promising malt-fruity aromas, dark plums and earthy malts. Rather sweet dark malty flavours added by dried fruits. Ends malt-fruity, semi-sweet. Quite alright. (Birmingham 06.02.2020).
