Dark roasted chocolate malts produce this dry, full-bodied ruby black beer with deep notes of treacle and coffee. So velvety smooth it glides across the tongue like a mythical monster beneath the surface of a loch!

Cask at Jeremiah´s Taproom Edinburgh on the 11/08/2016. Dark brown colour with a small disappearing brown head. Aroma of roasted malts, coffee and smoked chocolate. Taste is dry and sweet with roasted malts and coffee. Dry and intense coffee aftertaste. Next one please!

Bottle at Qbrick. A cola black pour with a thick beige head and a soft cocoa and oats aroma. Medium to light bodied with a sweet bitter dark chocolate and honeyed oats flavor. Surprisingly good.

Keg tap at Cambridge Brew House. Very dark brown, but a little bit of light gets through. Some tan head and lots of lacing. Slight chocolate and latte overtones in the aroma, with a surprising dose of vinegar. taste is sweet and chocolatey but without much depth. Medium short finish, a touch of chocolate malt and fruity hop in the aftertaste. Too cold to fully appreciate the silky mouthfeel. This would be better in cask (in good cask condition of course).

0.5l bottle from lot 331. A gift from my kind girlfriend this one! Pours a dark deep dark amber ruby colored body with a huge really fluffy almost cloudy off-white lacing head on top. On the nose this is somewhat mild, but I get traces of nice mild milk chocolate and a faint roasted element in the back. Some dark sweetness also detected here. A faint but pleasant acidity, like coffee acidity also. I like. Tastes quite decent also I have to say. Lots of chocolate and coffee tones here. It's not directly roasted but it has a dark malty element all the way. In the mouth it's really gliding and almost a little slick while it's soft on the bubbles. Yeah, it's really lightdrinkable this. Some traces of dark cardboard all the way in the back but it's not disturbing. I actually quite enjoyed this one. 30.08.2014

Bottle from Tomlinson’s, Inverness. Deep brown colour with a small tan head. Relatively mild aroma of chocolate, roasted malts, and coffee. Medium sweet, medium body. Thinish texture, soft carbonation. Decent enough porter.

500ml bottle from Appellation Wines. Pours very dark brown, red tinge. Long-lasting off-white head. Aromas of brown malt, chocolate, light herbal hops. Taste is nicely balanced. Light creamy texture. Clean finish. Good.
