Black ruby in colour, with a rich chocolate and black malt flavour. This old style running porter finishes with a firm bitterness.

Аромат не взрачный, не особо сильно ощущается этот стиль, но кофе есть, и оно весьма приятно, может немного изюма и шоколада. Цвет темный, но вот пена просто фу, большие и мыльные пузыри как у плохого киселя. Вкус уже похуже, весьма средний, не яркий, сухой. Много кофе, особенно зерен, очень сухой при глотке и в послевкусие. Снова немного изюма с возможными намеками на вино, но все очень не ярко и бледно. В целом пить можно, но ничего особенного.

(Cask at Southampton Arms, Gospel Oak, London, 21 Nov 2019) Black colour with foamy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose witrh coffee, chocolate and roasted grain. Malty, roasted taste with notes of coffee, chocolate, roasted malt, caramel, dark bread and a balanced roasty bitterness. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Smooth but rich, solid and well made porter. Very nice.

Handpull cask at the Two-Tailed Lion, Leicester. Brownish black, opaque with a small to medium cteamy beige head. Intense roast malt on the nose with bitter chocolate and coffee grounds. The taste reveals even more complexity with a double-double coffee sweetness undercut with notes of bramble. Full, creamy mouthfeel. This is an incredible porter.

One-third pint, guest beer on cask at Goose Island Shoreditch. Bubbly fawn coloured head, laces well, almost black in the glass. Roasted dark malty aromas, hints of dark bread. Dark doughy flavours together with a chocolate impact and distant raisin notes. Lightly roasted ending. East to drink. Decent porter version. (London 11.01.2019).

Cask @ The Salopian, Shrewsbury. Pours dark, small tan head. Aroma is roasty, chocolate. Taste continues with a large roasted character, smooth chocolate following in the rear with a little sweetness. Nicely balanced, delicious porter.
