Thanks. Linda.
This was poured into a mug.
The appearance was a hazy brown color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within about a minute leaving some light lacing speckling the sides of the glass.
The smell had a malty sweet chocolate to vanilla setting over top of a pervading roastiness that ended up having a nice smooth toffee and balanced with a nice blend of bitter coffee.
The taste was mainly malty sweet to bring back the bitter coffee to combine with the toffee nicely.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. The carbonation was somewhat subdued and smooth to leave a fairly decent stickiness melding to my tongue.
Overall, good English Porter I could have again.

500ml bottle from Beer Central, Sheffield - Deep black body, frothy tan head. Spicy fruit nose, smoky raisin and citrus peel. Good robust mouthfeel, sweet warming taste and a lasting fruity finish. Not a bad little winter warmer this.

500ml Bottle - Black in colour. Orange peel, figs, roasted malt and raisins in the aroma. Roasted and spicy taste with orange peel, dried fruit, cloves and cinnamon.

Bottle from ?Jacks? Westholme Stores, Goring-on-Thames, Oxon, consumed at the Old Vicarage, Merton, Oxon on Friday 20th December 2013 Very dark brown with off-white head. Aroma is chocolatey with cocoa and some spiciness. Some sour fruitiness, bit of chocolate in mouth, it is tangy with a little tart edge. Nice but not that exciting. A6 A4 T7 P3 Ov13 3.3
