Pours a dark brown almost black colour with a small tan head. A sweet chocolatey vanilla aroma with a hint of coffee. Dry in the mouth, some sweet chocolate notes with a vanilla flavour and some coffee ground bitterness.

Deep dark color with a tan layer on top. Nice coffee aroma. Medium body and a soft carbonation level. A bi to sweet on the palate. Coffee, chocolate and to much vanilla in the flavor. I can have one of these, but not two on the same day.

Gravicask on the second day at Plymouth Camra Beer Festival 2016. Coal black body, almost naked at the top, lacing rings down the glass. Roasted nose, hints of cocoa and chocolate. Brown sugar and o’boy chocolate flavours, lightly roasted. Coffee bitterness to the finish. Rather thin on the swallow. Accepted (Shared with Finn, 24.09.2016).

Cask @ Flowepot, Mirfield. Dark red-brown with a smooth head. Roasted coffee malts are abundant, but the vanilla fusion is strong too. Has plenty of flavour and a strong aroma, although a tad thinnish in the palate.

Cask @ Cambridge Brew House. Mid- to dark brown with a loose beige head. The aroma is vanilla latte. What am I, at Costa? Actually it’s nice, not too overpowering, and the malt undertones remind you this is actually a beer. Sweet-sour taste, followed by a sharp hoppy bitterness. Custard and cannabis (seriously!) notes in the aftertaste. A weird little porter, but certainly decent.
