Thicker, darker and more robust than your average Porter. We layered slices of black and brown malts with dark crystal to create an intense, dark drinking experience.

On tap at Brew Festival. A black one, topped by a dense, finger-thick dark beige head. The aroma is burnt and roasted, with bonfire notes, dark dried fruit and some oats. It’s medium to full-bodied and very soft on the palate, with a burnt malts kind of bitterness. Roasted and burnt malts, some bonfire and oats, as well as prune and raisin. Lasting finish. Perhaps a bit gentle this one, but at least it downs easily. 220430

Superficial festival rating at Brew Festival, Oslo 2022. Saturday session 2. Black body under a dense pale beige head. Strong aroma of dark malt with a hint of vanilla. Taste is sweet dark malt, biscuit, chocolate and moderate bitterness. Fine body with a pleasant aftertaste. Nice one.

1/3 pint, keg shared with Finn at Boxcar Brewery & Taproom. Pitch black in the glass, bubbles on the surface, scattered lacing. Roasted aroma of brown and black malts. Quite rich taste of grainy chocolate followed by a rounded ending, nicely roasted. Fine depth. Pleasing. (London 17.11.2021).
