Bottle from Appellation Wines. This bottle is 4.8% and may be a completely new recipe but based upon the fact that many are merged when name and percentage are close I’ve put my rating under the existing 5.1% porter entry. There may be many examples of this for this brewery and they probably do warrant new entries since the brewery has recently changed owner/brewer. Appearance - opaque black with a lovely fluffy fawn head. Nose - creamy chocolate. Dried fruits. Beef stock. Taste - chocolate and prunes. Tonnes of cream on the backdrop. Palate - medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long elegant finish. Overall - big flavours for a relatively low ABV. Perhaps, new brewer, Martin’s best work to date.

Cask at the Hanging Bat. Pours clear dark brown, thin tan head. Aromas of nut, chocolate, light coffee. Taste is more of the same, light stone fruit coming in too. A bit thin, which is surprising.
