Bursting with coffee, chocolate and caramel flavours as a result of the complex malt profile. The hops complement the malt flavours for a rich & traditional porter that is smooth and well-balanced.

Bottle at parents house, from Abbots Ale House Bottle Shop - thanks to the old man, 27/01/13. Very dark mahogony brown with reddish hues and a tight tan cap that retains well. Nose carries roast malt, milk chocolate, quite a soapy dose. Taste comprises roast malt, dark fruits, chocolate, light molasses, tobacco. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry finish. Ok stuff.

Draught. Jet black with a tan to grey head. Aroma is sweet roasted malt, chocolate and some blackcurrant. Flavour is much the same, light testure on with a dry sweet finish. Very drinkable

Draught at The Porterhouse, Dublin. Hardly see through black, creamy head. Mid dry, dense and roasty . A meaty Irsish porter/stout, more full bodied than you’d expect from a 4.4% beer. Choclate mud cake with raw licorice. Long bitter finish.

Re-rate 02.01.2014; même score, dégustée en bouteille 50cl BB 10/2013. Brune légère, crémeux beige presque café au lait. Arôme très anglais sur des malts caramel et crystal avec un léger rétro brûlé. Palais est malté, pointe de chocolat amer, sec et terreux, poudre de cacao, léger biscuité moyen. Pointe surette en fin de bouche accompagnée par la levure. Draft @ Bull and Castle, Dublin. De couleur brune, mousse crémeuse beige. Arôme malté et grillé avec une fine touche houblonnée conférant à cette bière sa touche citronnée. En bouche, la bière est savoureuse et complexe. J’y découvre un subtile mélange de malt grillé, chocolat, fruits noirs et liqueur de crème qui rappelle le Bailey. Bonne effervescence pour un palais qui est sec avec une toute fine amertume sur la fin donnant ce léger aspect houblonné.

Draught @ Bull & Castle, Dublin. Very dark brown. Chocolatey aroma but cocoa/coffee accent. Lightish body. Vaguely fruity with some bread character. For whatever reason, this simply didn’t resonate with me.
