Nocturnal Portal

Poured from the tap @ Small Gods. Very dark brown with small beige head. Soft chocolate and raspberry with feint roast, decent flavoured porter.

On tap at The Magnet. Pours dark brown with persistent beige head. Aroma has some chocolate and raspberry, but has a plastic note that undermines. Flavour dominated by the nitro, but has some detectable chocolate raspberry flavour. Meh.

On nitro tap at The Magnet, pours a deep dark brown / near-black with a small tan head. Aroma has plenty of metallic, bandaid notes that unfortunately dominate — ugh. Flavour doesn't reveal the bandaids thankfully, with soft raspberry, light cocoa and some earthiness. Not too bad: the nose is quite crappy, but the flavour is not terrible. The nitro probably masks some of the off-notes. Not great.

On tap. Pours a very dark brown with moderate nitro head. Aromas of roasted barley, soft nutty chocolate, and subtle red berries. Flavors follow same with more pronounced raspberries. Nicely done with nice porter base and berry balance.
