Isle Of Wight Holiday Beer#17.; I'll get there eventually! Black with a small head. Session porter texture and strength, pretty decent for it. Has a light roasted nose, lighter taste, but develops in aftertaste on the sweeter side.

On tap at Ebenezers, Crewe. Pours almost black with a small beige head. The aroma is milky – with coffee and chocolate both of that type. In the mouth it is sweet with a creamy texture, but also a tangy zest. Milky coffee again the main flavour, with some hints of nutella, beans, liquorice and spice. Finish is a bit sticky – but not annoyingly so. This is decent but no more.
