440ml can. Pours black with a thin tan head. Aroma of roast malts with some smoke in there too. Taste is roasty, smoky (tobacco), chocolate, and perhaps a little liquorice and dark fruit, nice bitter coffee like finish. Really loving this porter. Not bad for a 207 year old beer!

Can at Ebenezers, Crewe. Pours almost black with a small beige head. Aroma is strongly chocolate with some smoky hints. In the mouth there’s a brief burst of initial sweetness and milk chocolate, before it becomes strongly bitter with cocoa nibs and coffee grounds. Flavour also has ginger and parkin. Subsequent tasting varied randomly between sweet and bitter. It’s nice enough but didn’t really live up to expectation – a bit all over the place really.

Cask-conditioned at the LHG Brewpub, Bristol 15/12/2022. Near black in colour, with a frothy, beige, head. Rich chocolate notes, some toastiness, tobacco character and liquorice, leading to a smooth finish. Excellent.
