Based on a classic recipe for porter which dates from the 17th Century. A blend of pale, chocolate, black and munich malt along with roasted barley and of course the more unusual brown malt. The toasty, coffee, burnt bittersweet aroma.

Bottle at home in London - sourced from Royal Mile Whiskies, Bloomsbury. Pours deep brown with a fading, frothy beige head. Moderate toasted malts in the nose, some cocoa, nips of rubber. Light sweet flavour with dry chocolate character, mellow roast, further rubber notes, some dried berries, earthy bitterness. Light bodied with average carbonation. Finishes pretty well in the balance, with more dry, bittersweet chocolate, moderate roasted malts, subtle scorched earth, old leather. Maybe a little tame, but altogether very drinkable.

330ml bottle into a Chimay badged chalice at home on 23rd June 2016. Cheers Dad for bringing this back from Scotland for me. Pitch black body, wispy tanned collar for a head. Chocolate aroma and taste, fairly sweet flavoured with a coffee grains bitterness in the finish. Decent.

Bottle from Stockbridge Market. Black body with a thin tan head. Light lacing. Aroma of smoky bacon, dark chocolate and ash. Flavour of burnt toast, treacle, chocolate and slightly sour malt. Thin body with a smooth texture. Soft fizz. Bold flavour but with a slightly sour finish that overpowers the ashy, chocolatey notes.

The taste is bitter-sweet, cocoa, earth, light spice, cola, roasty, toast, umami, aniseed and treacle with a soft finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. A solid porter.

Quite an intense coffee and roast malt aroma. That also comes through in the flavour together with light smoke, although less intensively. Body is a little thin.

33cl bottle - sample from Victoria at Stockbridge Market. Pours opaque black with a nice creamy fawn head. The nose is instantly liquorice and maybe even some charcoal. The taste is a little more creamy with gentle chocolate, more liquorice and some cream. The palate is probably the most impressive part of this - a really rich malt profile leads into a large but tight structure. The texture in the mid-section is still rich and very tight. The finish is elegant. Overall, a really well made Porter.
