Bottle from Drinkstore, Dublin [030115]
Very dark brown, ruby edges, thin beige head that dissipated quickly to a thin rim around glass
Aroma of fresh ginger, quite spicy, dab of dark chocolate, bit vegetal, simple nose where the ginger dominates
Taste of fairly spicy ginger, some mellow roast, some dark chocolate, not much roast, dark malts, getting that vegetal edge from the ginger (it is fresh), some bitter cocoa nibs, not complex though
Palate - soft carb, medium body, perhaps a bit thin for the abv, soft sweet palate. Finish a bit dry, more intense dark chocolate in finish, more bitter.
Overall - Not bad, quite pricey for a bottle. The ordinary Ginger Porter seems a bit more balanced imho
