From cask, handpump at The National Winter Ales Festival. Shared with Finn. Dark body with deep ruby highlights. Fragile bubbles at the top. Malt and vanilla nose. Grainy chocolate to the taste character alongside hints of coffee and liquorice. Dry bitter ending. Tasty and easy drinking porter (Manchester, 23.01.2013).

Bottle and cask. Dark brown body with ruby highlights and a beige head that holds well. Great lacing. Aroma of chocolate ice-cream, burnt toast, ash and raisins. Flavour of berries, chocolate, mild coffee and vanilla with a tangy finish. Medium body with a smooth texture. Soft fizz. This is a wonderful Porter - rich and tangy.

50cl bottle. Pours a beautiful opaque black with a 2 inch head. The nose has a very dominat note of instant coffee, though there is some chocolate too. The taste has more instant coffee, some very dark chocolate and a burnt note which kinda goes into liquorice. The palate is medium to full in structure with a creamy texture and there is a sharper finish though it seems to be based upon burnt malt rather than hops. Overall, a nice beer that could be sessioned.
