Bottle picked up a grocers somewhere in Northumbria. Not far off black. Nice dense lasting beige foam. Looks well. Crusty well done granary loaf. Bit of char. Whiff of tobacco. Whiff of vine fruit. Taste has light fruity sweetness turning dry and lightly vinous. Smooth and easy going with fine bubbles. Dry vinous finish. Nice porter. Bet it’s a blinder on cask.
