Bottle from Vinomondo, Conwy. Black-brown with a thick bubbly head. Has a washy roasted malt aroma, with a more stated taste, but still a little thin tasting in terms of its texture - however not too much, it’s still a decent porter.

Bottled. Coppery black colour with a mediumsized beigeish brown head, that leaves nice lace. Aroma is caramel, some liquorice, mild ashy and chocolaty notes to it. Flavour is toffee, ashes, some chocolate, mild coffee, roasted malts as well as some slight herbal notes. Rather bold palate and very smooth and filling to drink.

Bottle from MediaCityUK, Salford [261114]
Black, massive tan head, over carbonated, some lacing
Aroma of mellow roasted malts, soft sweet dark malts
Taste of mellow roast, quite rich dark malts, nice dark chocolate, no fruits, tasty
Palate - Medium carb and body, over fizzy, quite sweet. Finish of mellow roast, quite sweet plain dark chocolate afters
Overall - Good porter, spoiled by being over carbonated - once this had settled down (with a bit of stirring), it had quite a smooth mouthfeel.

500ml bottle picked up at NWAF in Manchester last year. Beige-brownish head to a clear mahogany coloured body. Lacing rings down the glassware. Dark, mid-sweet, caramel aroma. Malty flavours, caramel, chocolate and lactose hints. Malty ending with leafy hops. Medium bodied. Has got its moments of decent beer drinking (shared with Finn, Tromsø 05.03.2014).

Flaske 0,5 l. Spandert av Rune og delt under seanse i WCveien 5 Mar 14. Mørk amber med et veldig høyt kremaktig skum. Flott kniplingslacing. God aroma av røstet malt & sjokolade. Smaken det samme. Svakt syrlig ettersmak.

Hand-pulled pint in The Bear, Hodnet Shropshire on 7th Jan 2014. An easy drinking smooth Porter with all the usual attributes you’d expect from this style of beer. Dark body with a good head of tan coloured foam. Mild chocolate aroma and taste from the heavily roasted malts, no real bitterness within this brew. Dry enough and flavoursome, moving towards a semi-milk Stour sort of taste and feel if I’m honest. Pleased I tried a pint.

Bottle. Blackish brown beer with a fairly strong head. The aroma is sweetly roasted, and the flavour is lightly bitter with a gentle malty and dry finish. Overall a reasonable malty and dry beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
