Rich and dark beer with sweet cocoa and dark malty aromas. The blend of various dark malts gives lavish chocolate flavour and coffee like aromas.

Gravity cask at the Draymans Son, Ely. Dark brown and a trifle translucent. Wispy bit of light tan head and loads of lacing. Liquorice is prevalent in the mild and slightly astringent smell. Gorgeous taste, with the sweetness fading quickly in place of a sharp and pronounced aniseedy bitterness. Bitter liquorice aftertaste. Lovely and one to look out for.

Cask at the three johns. Chestnut brown with reddy hues coloured pour with a lasting halo of loose light tan head. Aroma is toasted cocoa, drinking chocolate, hint of coconut. Rich and milky on the nose. Flavour is composed of rich choc, cocoa, hint of smooth roast with some boozy cake mixture, and dried fruits. Palate is medium sweet, medium full with a little alcohol warmth in the finish. Nice porter.
