33cl bottle from Beer52.com. An opaque peaty brown pour with a thin beige head; aroma of brown sugar; thin in the mouth with a roasted coffee taste, some demerara sugar and caramel; and a rather thin and bitter (coffee dreg) finish. Not a great porter.

33cl bottle. Dark brown pour with a medium-height fine-grained tan head. Smells of dark cherries, roasted malts, cold coffee and dark chocolate. The taste follows the same notes. Medium to light body and a cherry bitter aftertaste. A classic porter.

Ligero amargo final más menos persistente. Buena.

Keg at Jeremiah’s Taproom, Edinburgh. Very dark - brownish black, if you will - with a pretty little crown of beige head. Aroma’s a bit quiet. Roast malt, blackberry and strong coffee coming through. Taste is strong and bitter, but the malts feel too aggressively roasted, giving the impression of overstewed diner coffee.The finish bears the brunt of the roasted malt, leaving the aftertaste with a slightly acrid feel. Despite this lack of balance, it’s a pretty good beer all told.
