Keg at HL1, 06/03/20. Black with a well presented tan cap that stays for the show. Nose is dark malts, chocolate, vanilla essence, toffee, toasted brown sugars. Taste comprises cocoa powder, mellow roast malts, toffee, brown sugars, dark fruit rinds. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light drying close. Decent flavoursome porter.

Keg at the brewery taproom. Pours deep brown with a frothy, tan cap. Nice rounded dark malt character, some dried berries, bitter cocoa, mellow roast, bit of black coffee. Medium bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Finishes with more relaxed roast, a little ashy bitterness, raisins, baking cocoa. Solid.

Keg at The Farmers Boy, St Albans, Herts. A black coloured pour with a thin beige head on top. Roasty, malty, chocolate, caramel, dark fruit aroma and taste. Rather thin but OK.
