500ml bottle. Near black with reddish hints and a big tan head. Aroma of sweet malts, peat, tobacco and a hint of marmite yeastiness. Big, almost vinous mouth feel, with some caramel sweetness, charred malts, some earthy hops, a hint of seaside saltiness and a dry, bitter finish. Very enjoyable.

bottle from TuckersMaltings. Deep black colour, mid-sized creamy beige head. Aroma of coffee and bitter chocolate. Full-bodied, pleasantly malty and pleasant hoppy flavours with hints of coffee, cocoa powder, bitter chocolate, raisins and a touch of smoke. A delicious brew to say good-bye to 2008.

Cask Small, yellow rim left, deep brown beer. Wood, liquorice, carbon, but little smokiness. Smokiness appears in the flavour, sulphury, as from stricken match, but still very discreet. Wood and carbon, still discreet. At least get the "smokiness" right in order to beef it up.

Okells Aile is almost black beer with thin brown head. Aroma is pleasant and there can find roastines, sourness and coffee. Flavour is quite pleasant and balanced even that roastiness dominates the flavour. Quite easy to drink but nice, anyway, despite of low alcohol procents. Nice porter but there should be something more than dominating roastiness.
