A classic London style porter ale with a rich and velvety darkness. Expect an aroma of dark roasted malts and subtle coffee and dark chocolate notes. Micro-brewed on the Mersey.

Enjoyed at home after buying the can at a Home Bargains store. A milky, rich and sweet porter without the sum of its parts becoming overbearing. It's quite a tasty effort with some chocolate involved. Slightly floralised aroma but its general dark to roasted maltiness is still evident.

[44cl can from Home Bargains.] A peaty brown coloured pour with a scant covering of beige head; aroma of chocolate and roasted malts; creamy in the mouth with a taste of roasted dark malts and a touch of coffee; then a bittersweet finish with a trace of vanilla. A sound Porter.

Dark brown, opaque. In the nose wet cardboard, then coffee, chocolate maltiness and light sweetness. Full body, low carbonation, roastiness, coffee and dark chocolate with a sour note. Decent porter.
