Thin creamy tan head left a good cover on a dark oak coloured still body. Malt, liquorice & nutty aroma. Medium bodied, nicely carbonated with creamy back & clean aft. Malt, liquorice, spices, sweet berries & roasted tastes with a pleasantly tangy finish. Lovely Pint!

Bottle. Real Ale Shop, Branthill, Norfolk. Clear, deep ruby red. Skim of tan head. Nose has light roast coffee. Vanilla. Cinnamon. Taste is fruity, dry, and roast coffee malt bitter. Silky mouthfeel. Low carbonation. Light bitterness to finish. The sweet aroma is really well matched with the light bitter taste. Very nice.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours dark brown with aa quickly dissipating white head. Shed loads of chocolate and vanilla in the nose, bit of warm spice action. The sweet chocolate cake/ice cream continues into the flavour. Quite a satisfying brew.

500ml bottle: BBD end of Jul 2016. Poured into a glass tankard at home on 20th Nov 2015. Live rating. Deep ruby red body, the head a full tanned affair. The nose has a malty lead with a mixed herb feel and a slight Vanilla ester or two, certainly spicy and yet smooth (if an aroma can be smooth). The taste follows the same lines, malty, smooth and herb like with a Vanilla semi-sweetness pushing on. Full bodied and easy to drink, a very pleasant Porter from start to finish.
