Bottle from Melbicks Garden Centre, Coleshill. Pours dark brown with a finger of beige head. Roast malt aroma, dark chocolate, hay, dried fruits; promising. Taste of bitter roast, licquorice, dark chocolate, some dried fruits and herbs. The bitterness becomes slightly tinny in the finish but other than that its very tasty. Nice medium body, soft mouthfeel. Enjoyable.

Bottle online from The Natural Grocery Store. Pours pitch black with a thick foamy beige head. Aromas of roasted malts, coffee and chocolate. Taste has more roasted malts, coffee and chocolate with a little brown sugar. Some ashy notes on the finish. A nice balance between roasted bitter and sweet. Medium body, average carbonation and fairly smooth mouthfeel. Enjoying this Porter. Good
