Sample courtesy of Grumbo via SHIG, cheers. Aroma of nuts, malts, chocolate and hints of coffee. Taste is roasted malts and slightly ashy. The nuts come through but is a bit thin. Not bad.

Bottle from Morrisons, online. Pours very dark brown, small off white head, some retention. Aroma of roasted malts, coffee, grassy, touch of liquorice. Taste is chocolate, light roasted malts, coffee, quite a sweet middle but offset by a moderate bitter crisp finish. Creamy mouthfeel, fine carbonation which works well. Excellent tasty session porter.
