Cask at CASK with Sarah. Pours a near black with a grayish brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has notes of strong roast with a good amount of coffee backed by a hint of dark grains. Flavor has a nice roasted malt note with supporting notes of coffee, light smoke and dark grains.

Bottle at home in London. Pours dark brown, somewhat clear with a strong, creamy beige head. Aroma holds some enticing roasted malts, a bit of dirt, milk chocolate. Medium sweet flavor with a rich, pronounced chocolate character, some baking cocoa and milk chocolate, mellow burnt wood bitterness along with some earth and dirt, subtle pine and toasted leaves. Medium bodied with lively carbonation. Moderately sweet to finish with dry, roasty bitterness, light minerals, hefty and true chocolate notes. Very nicely rounded beer. Good chocolate, good bitter/sweet balance. Nice work.

Cask at the Southampton Arms, Kentish Town - 20/04/12. Dark mahogony brown with a thin off-white head. Roasted malts at the fore of the nose allied to bitter chocolate, wood bark and licquorice. Full flavoured porter full on roasted malts, toffee, chocolate and some dark fruits. Medium bodied with a dry finish - a British porter with bollocks and not lacking in any way like some of its contemporaries.

[1st rate: Cask at Reading BF, May 2012 RB score 7/4/7/4/15] Dark brown-black, moderate beige head. Lots of chocolate with black coffee, then a little smoke in the moderately bitter finish. Good porter. (2nd rate, Cask at the Alehouse, Reading, 14/5/22, RB score 7/4/6/4/14) Mark said it's nice until you drink it but I thought it was ok. Plain chocolate, coffee and cocoa powder. Quite smooth. The flavours are maybe a little too muted to wow you, but it's a pleasant porter nevertheless. Rating given is the average of all times tried.

(Cask at Southampton Arms, Kentish Town, London, 19 April 2012) Very dark brown colour, almost black, with brief beige head. Roasted, malty nose with coffee, dried fruit and dark rye bread. Roasted, malty taste with notes of coffee, chocolate, dark rye bread, raisins, prunes and a generous coffee bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Solid and well made. Excellent porter.
