Handpull cask from the Parcel Yard, Leicester. Very dark brown and slightly translucent. Sweet liquorice notes on the aroma with strong coffee and a touch of cola nut. Sweet taste with chocolate overtones. A light fruity hop provides a bittering balance midway through the sip. Creamy body with blackberry overtones in the aftertaste. An enjoyable classic porter.
