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 på Kelham Island Tavern, Sheffield 1 Okt 10. Svart. OK luftig og svakt farget skum. Deilig aroma av røstet malt og sjokolade. Smaker lakris og røstet malt. Avslutter tørt bittert.

(Cask at Pineapple, London) A pleasant porter. Beer wasn’t exactly black but very close to it. Nice aroma of coffee and chocolate with some burntness. I found coffee and chocolate in the taste, too, and also hops, burntness and bitterness. Balanced and long lasting roasty and bitter finish. Very tasty.

From cask at Brew Wharf beerfestival. Pours dark brown to black with a small tan head. Aroma is roasted malty, light chocolate note. Hardroasted malt flavoured, light chocolate and dark breadish. No acidity - just plain nicely dark roasted. Nice hops fruity and slight bitter finish.

Cask Conditioned at The Castle, Furnival St., London
Black color. The delicate aroma of roasted nuts is quite nice. It has a dry mouthfeel, with chocolate and roasted malt, surely pleasant for the estimators of the style (more a Stout than a Porter though). The final is basically roasted malt.

On gravity at Swindon BF 30/10/08. Near black with a decent tan head. Big aromas of dark chocolate, roasted malts and caramel. Flavour had plenty more roastiness, some dark fruit and a long dry finish. Very good.
