This porter offers a refreshing balance to the rich maltiness of dark ales. Initially it carries distinct roast flavours with a hint of biscuity sweetness, leading into a pleasant and lasting bitterness. Black in colour with the subtle aroma of coffee beans, staying true to a London porter.

Cask - Dark roast and bittersweet chocolate. Jet black with a good beige head. Dark chocolate with a very light bitterness. More sweet dark chocolates than anything else. Pretty nice.

330ml bottle. Darkest brown colour late awakening and simultaneously diminishing, eventually small, frothy, minimally lacing, tan head. Chocolately dark malty aroma that canโt deny its grainy origin, some coffee and caramel, all with grainy residues, some husk. Taste is slightly bitter and roasty dark malty, hints of coffee surrogate, dark chocolate, some hay; soft carbonation, fluffy palate.

330ml bottle from Provenance Wines, shared with Ashton McCobb. Cheers Ash! Pours dark brown with a nice tan head. Aromas are quite light, but liquorice first, then earthy and dark chocolate comes through as it warms up. Taste brings some coffee, more chocolate. Nice creamy texture. Decent.

Taste - bitter chocolate and coffee grits with a creamy backbone. Palate - medium bodied with a creamy texture and a relatively fresh finish. Overall - a good Porter.

Bottle from Provenance Wines. Black body with a thin beige head. Nice lacing. Aroma is exactly like a Galaxy Caramel, with a hint of coffee too. The coffee notes become more dominant on the taste, with the chocolate and caramel flavours playing supporting roles. Thin body with a watery, slightly oily mouthfeel. Gentle carbonation fizz. A straightforward, flavoursome, easy drinking Porter.

Bottle from Dram Shop, Sheffield. Nearly black. Halo of tan head. Wet leather. Burnt plastic. Mostly fire damaged outerwear materials, then? Weird, but not entirely unpleasant. Taste is fruity dry. Dark chocolate bitterness. Medium body. Dry, ashy, bitter finish.

Bottle picked up Tuesday 15th October 2013 from โJacksโ, Westholme Stores, Goring-on-Thames, Oxon, consumed at home Sunday 3rd November 2013 Pours dark brown with a little ruby glinting through. I am cooking curry so being exact on the aroma is actually quite tricky, however there is a little milkiness, some maltiness and perhaps chocolate not a lot else though. In the mouth a little weak coffee, roasty with a late roastiness that lingers a little, a bit of milk chocolate its fine. A6 A4 T7 P3 Ov13 3.3
