Creamy porter with a smooth finish. Black colour and a roasted chocolate aroma. The taste is similar with added fruity notes and a dry roast finish.

Bottle from Valhalla’s Goat, Glasgow. Near black with a big, rocky off-white head. Aroma of chocolate, roasted malts and a slight lactose tang. Flavour had more plain chocolate, a hint of fruity sweetness and a touch of ash in the finish. Very good.

Toasty malt aroma. Taste is of malt and a hint of chocolate. There’s a fruit edge to it as well. Not a lot of body but it’s quite good.
