13/5/2021. Bottle bought direct from the brewery. Pours black with a large frothy beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, milk chocolate, dark fruits, berries, coffee, touch of liquorice and nut. Moderate sweetness and bitterness. Medium body, fizzy carbonation. Roasted, bitter, ashy and slightly tart finish. Shame it was so fizzy, otherwise decent.

Bottle ordered from Inn At Home, Newbury. Aroma has rich malty chocolate and coffee, with underlying liqourice and sour vanilla cream. Pours opaque cola brown. Thick foamy microbubbled beige head. Medium-heavy bitter with a tart edge. Espresso, charcoal liqourice and gooseberries. As it warms it develops hoppy spice and citrus. Light bodied. Thin. Fizzy carbonation. Dry slightly astringent finish. Decent enough. The hoppiness makes me think more of a Black IPA than a lager yeast influenced Baltic Porter.
