Good porter, a bit light on the coffee but making up for it with a general roasty dark beer loveliness. Bitter chocolate and slight cherry cola notes backed up by a modest java undercurrent, shored up by a healthy hop back end and a lengthy bitter fade. Enticing roasted mocha nose, and the pour’s a fitting deep brown with ample lace. Another great pint from H & S.
