Bottle split at LKS ’Beers of London’ Tasting, high up, thanks to our host with the most 10/12/14. Light black with a decent tan covering that retains well. Nose is chocolate malt, toffee, earthy notes, sweet tunes, light spice. Taste comprises bitter roast, charr, dark chocolate, toffee, light spice, dark fruit rinds. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with light hoppy undertones. Decent porter.

Tasting at Leighton’s Flat. Thanks to our host for this one. Opaque dark brown beer, big fluffy pale tan head. Palate is very airy and semi dry. Good fine carbonation. Airy dark malts, touch of roast. Trace of lactose. Roast bitterness, some coffee. More dark malt cream and light and bitter floralness. Light dry finish. Bitterish linger. Decent.

Bottle thanks to L-Dogg. It pours clear deep red-brown with a thick tan head. The nose is toasty, roasted malt, earth, cocoa, dried fruits,candy and chocolate milk. The taste is bitter-sweet, toast,earth, orange peel, spice, charred wood and vanilla with a dry, peppery finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Well rounded and rather tasty all-round. Good one.

Bottle shared in London. Picked up at Kris Wines. Pours deep brown with a big, foamy beige head. Moderate roasted malts on the nose, some dry chocolate, dark fruits. Light-medium sweet flavor with some scorched earth bitterness, baking cocoa, leathery fruits, mellow roast, charred wood. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Well balanced on the finish with further cocoa, roast, earth, burnt leaves, dried fruits. Nicely rounded, well balanced. Great stuff.
