Bottle from Beers of Europe, online. Pours dark brown with small beige head, nice consistent retention. Aroma of roasted malts, coriander, chocolate, burnt wood, citrus peel. An odd combination - this could be awful, great or somewhere in the middle! Taste turns out to be on the excellent side! Taste has a roast and charcoal start followed by an orange citrus to offset and give it fruitiness, followed by coriander and chocolate moreish middle, finish has a combination of aforementioned, light fruity tang and smoke. Moderate bitterness throughout. Near medium bodied, fairly smooth, works well for a 4.5% porter. Wow excellent stuff, I love it when a beer far outshines expectation.

19/11/2021. Cask at the Harwich & Dovercourt Bay Winter Ale Festival 2021. Pours very dark brown with a small frothy off-white/grey head. Aroma of roasted malt, ash, dark chocolate, blood orange, smoky bacon. Moderate sweetness, medium roasted bitterness. Medium body, slight creamy texture, soft carbonation. Smoky meaty finish. Pretty good.

Bottle from Beers Of Europe. Appearance - deep brown with red chinks and a half fawn head. Nose - dark chocolate and orange very obvious. Coffee and toffee too. And coriander seed because you know to look for it. Taste - coffee, dark chocolate, orange and nice smokiness coming at the end. Palate - medium bodied, creamy texture. Dry, smoky finish. Overall - quite like this.
