Large tight tan head left a creamy cover on a near black coloured still body - looks amazing.
Malt, toast & nutty aroma.
Medium to full bodied, smooth & creamy with a cloying back.
Malt, toffee, coffee, nutty, biscuit & chocolate tastes with a big fruited peppery finish.
Tremendous Porter.

Backlog. Black colour with a mediumsized beige head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is roasted malts, some chocolaty and nutty tones with some mild dried fruits and a bit smoked wet wooden elements. Flavour is roasted, some chocolaty and mild nutty tones with some dried fruits and a bit wooden tones to it. Good depth to it.

Bloody delicious. A bit of a stout/porter mongrel and far too quaffable
