Half-pint, cask ale at Post Office Vaults, shared with Finn. A deep rustic tint to a dark coloured body. A bubbly ring to the rim of the surface. Plain, roasted malty nose. Flavoured with black malts including dark chocolate and liquorice. Ashy. Roasted bitter finish. Pleasant, just a little thin bodied for a porter (Birmingham 21.09.2016).

Cask-conditioned at the Lime Kiln, Bristol 16/6/2016. Near black in colour with a decent, beige, head. Some liquorice character, toasty malts, a hint of chocolate and dryish finish. Enjoyable.

Cask at the Post Office Vaults, Birmingham. Poured a clear dark brown with a thin broken off white head. The aroma is chocolate, light coffee. The flavour is light sweet with a liqourice malt, light spicy hop palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.
