Cask, GBBF. Medium bodied, strong coffee and caramel flavor. Tastes a bit like baileys cream. Sweet but lots to compensate. Long roasted malt finish. I like it!

Reviewed from notes. The appearance was a dark brown close to black color with a sly film of a little off white foamy head. Subtle stringy lace.
The aroma coughed up some roast and sweet milk and dark chocolate malts to present a good strength with a big coffee bean roastiness. Light earthy hops at the end.
The flavor was the roastiness, pretty bold up front with the chocolates combining really nice with the coffee bean. Not much of an aftertaste - slightly dark chocolate-like. Dry sort of roasty finish.
The feel was about medium bodied with a pretty good sessionability about it. Good carbonation and ABV.
Overall, pretty good porter - worthy to crush during early Spring or mid Autumn.
