Half, cask ale hand pulled at Blackfriars. Almost jet black body, shiny surface. Smell of roasted dark malts added by a spicy touch. Dark malty taste as well as notes of liquorice. Roasted bitter ending. Feels rather thin in the mouth (Glasgow, 13.04.2012).

Pours opaque black with a nice creamy head. The nose has intense chocolate and cream. The taste has chocolate but not as intense and there is a slightly dry astringent finish. The palate is medium to full bodied with a medium texture mouthfeel and a slightly drying but decent finish. Overall, a solid porter.
