Another London beerio thanks to LKS at his gaff, 02/09/14. Light black with a well appointed tan covering. Nose is light roastings, cocoa powder, spice, mineral vibes, dark fruit, plummy tones. Taste comprises earthy roast, mellow dark fruit, chocolate, hint of vanilla. Medium bodied, fine carbonation with light prickle, sweet roastings at the curtain call. Decent enough porter.
