A full bodied victorian style porter with hints of liquorice. The initial bitterness gives way to a smooth, mellow finish. A bronze medal winner in the Champion Winter Beer of Britain 2008.

Cask at Ealing beer festival 2012. A black coloured pour with a medium beige head on top. Roasty, chocolate, licquorice aroma. Tastes similar, roasty, chocolate, licquorice, bitter/sweet, dark fruit. Smooth and easy drinking. Decent porter.

A crisp and easy to drink porter, but certainly not a distinctive ale in character.

Best before July 2010, this 500ml brown bottle was drank and reviewed in April 2010. The beer was poured (twice) into a bulbous tulip glass (a stemmed Palm badged one). The colour was almost black, held up to the light source it revealed that it was really a deep, dark ruby red colour, a rich foaming tan coloured head sat proudly on top. The aroma was all about burnt/roasted malts, as was the taste once the beer was in the mouth. Rich, creamy and full of those malt flavours already mentioned, lovelly. Impressed with this, my second beer from Acorn. Not too sure about the rear label claiming chocolate, cherry and liquorice flavours, but I suppose if your tastebuds are finely tuned you might be able to find those flavours, I couldn’t, I just liked the beer!

Cask at the London Drinker. Pours dark brown with a moderate, foamy white head. Great aroma of freshly ground coffee and bitter cocoa. Light sweet flavor, some burnt toast, light roast, baking cocoa and burnt grass. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Good condition. Lightly dry to finish, lots of bittersweet baking cocoa, some hints of coffee, light minerals. Very solid, drinkable porter.

Cask. Very deep brown, close to black, colour, with a small beigeish-brown head. Aroma is roasted malts, some ashes, mild vanilla as well as wooden notes. Flavour is ashes, liquorice, roasted malts, some vanilla as well as mild dark berries and bitterness in the finish. Very pleasant porter for being only 4.4 % abv!
