Sold as Mr George’s Ruby Porter in the US due to trademark issues. A dark ruby beer with a rich flavour and spicy finish. The hop grist adds a hint of citrus to complement the roasted malt character. Dark, Delicious and Delectable.

Cask at the Penny Black, Bicester, (Wetherspoons) 21-05-06 Like the previous contributor I thought this had a slight sour taste which I put down to it being a bit old. Not really impressed with this very dark beer and one that I would ordinarily have taken back as despite some roasted notes and other things kicking around there I was always thinking that this beer was not as it should be,

Cask handpull at Westgate, JDW, Canterbury. Ruby brown colour with thin off white head. Toffe and liquorice on aroma and in mouth. Some powdery choc/coffee towards the end. Could be affected by diacetyl, also served too cold. Alternatively it is a toffee/liquorice dark porter style beer. Not great like this though. Re- rate - I had this a day or too later at County Hotel, JDW, Ashford and it was lousy also. Not so much toffee, but the sourness was going nowhere. I had to leave it.

[Cask at Charlie’s Bar, Copenhagen] A black beer with a small brown head. It has practically no aroma, but the flavor is of motoroil, roasted malt, coffee, and hops that gives it a very dry end. A nice beer.
